Pogacar marks return for Bretagne Classic – Ouest-France

Tadej Pogačar will make his return to competition at the Bretagne Classic – Ouest-France, his first race since his bronze medal ride at the Olympics Road Race in Tokyo last month.

The Slovenian will form part of a seven-rider squad who will dispute the French World Tour Classic formerly known as the ‘GP Plouay’.

Pogačar: “After some downtime since the Olympics I’m coming back for Bretagne Classic.
It’s a new challenge for me : I’ve never done this race before and I’m excited for it.

Since Tokyo I managed to go back to Slovenia, to my hometown Komenda and greet all my friends and family which was really nice after what has been an unforgettable summer so far .

Now I’m back in training preparing for the last goals of the season which include the Europeans,Worlds and Il Lombardía.”
