Tadej Pogačar’s Perfect Weekend: From Lombardy Glory to Krvavec Challenge and a Relaxing Visit at CUBO Golf
It has been a whirlwind three days for cycling’s golden boy, Tadej Pogačar, as the Slovenian superstar capped off an extraordinary weekend filled with triumph, community spirit, and well-deserved relaxation. The World and European Champion once again proved why he remains the sport’s most complete athlete — not just for his power on the bike, but for his humility off it.
The journey began with yet another monumental win at Il Lombardia, where Pogačar delivered a masterclass performance to secure his third consecutive title. On the challenging climbs of Northern Italy, the UAE Team Emirates leader showcased his trademark explosiveness and strategic brilliance, leaving rivals chasing shadows. His victory marked a stunning end to the European road season and reaffirmed his dominance in cycling’s most prestigious one-day classics.
Barely had the celebrations in Lombardy ended when Pogačar turned his attention homeward for the Pogi Challenge, a charity cycling event he hosts annually on the scenic slopes of Krvavec, Slovenia. There, hundreds of fans, aspiring riders, and families joined him for a community ride that blended sport with social good. The event, now a national favorite, reflects Pogačar’s commitment to nurturing local talent and giving back to the sport that shaped him.
“The Pogi Challenge is special to me,” Pogačar shared with a smile. “It’s not about racing or winning — it’s about connecting with people, encouraging kids, and enjoying cycling together.” His infectious enthusiasm and down-to-earth demeanor turned the ride into a festival of joy, with young fans inspired by the chance to ride alongside their idol.
And if two days of celebration and cycling weren’t enough, Pogačar’s weekend concluded with a visit to CUBO Golf, a serene haven near Ljubljana. CUBO, known for its tranquil greens and elegant hospitality, welcomed the champion with open arms. Staff and visitors were delighted as the double world champion spent time greeting fans, signing autographs, and sharing stories from his recent victories.
CUBO Golf later expressed their excitement on social media: “We were honored to welcome a very special guest — World and European Champion Tadej Pogačar! From his win in Lombardy to the Pogi Challenge at Krvavec, and now a visit to CUBO — what a three-day journey for the champ!”
The visit was more than symbolic — it highlighted Pogačar’s deep roots in Slovenia and his connection to its sporting community. Despite his global fame, the 26-year-old remains proudly grounded, often returning home to unwind and inspire the next generation of athletes.
As he looked out over the peaceful fairways of CUBO, Pogačar seemed reflective yet energized, a champion at ease after another season of historic success. With his trademark smile, he hinted at future ambitions but emphasized one thing above all — balance. “Cycling gives me everything,” he said, “but moments like these remind me why I love what I do.”
Three days, three highlights, one champion. Tadej Pogačar continues to redefine excellence — not just in the peloton, but in every aspect of life.
