Tadej Pogačar, one of the most versatile and dominant cyclists of his generation, has revealed his plans for the 2025 season, naming the two Grand Tours he intends to target: the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia. After a successful few years in the sport, Pogačar has become known for his ability to shine in any race, and his decision to take on both the Giro and the Tour in the same year highlights his ambition to achieve even greater success in the most prestigious cycling events.
In an interview, Pogačar expressed his excitement about returning to the Giro d’Italia, a race he hasn’t competed in since early in his career. “The Giro is a race I’ve always loved, and I’ve been waiting for the right moment to return,” Pogačar explained. “The Italian fans, the beautiful but brutal climbs, and the history of the race make it so special. I want to go back and fight for the pink jersey.”
Balancing two Grand Tours in one season is no small feat, but Pogačar’s focus remains on winning another Tour de France. As a two-time champion, Pogačar has always prioritized the yellow jersey, and 2025 will be no different. “The Tour de France is still my biggest goal,” he said. “It’s the race that defines your career, and winning it again is something I’m determined to do.”
Pogačar’s decision to attempt the Giro-Tour double adds an extra layer of excitement to the 2025 cycling season. Only a handful of riders in history have managed to win both races in the same year, and while the challenge is enormous, Pogačar has the talent, experience, and team support to make a serious run at both titles.
While other top contenders will likely focus on just one Grand Tour, Pogačar’s bold choice to tackle both the Giro and the Tour shows his desire to push the boundaries of what’s possible in professional cycling, solidifying his status as one of the sport’s greatest riders.
