Tadej Pogačar, two-time Tour de France winner, has proudly announced the establishment of the Tadej Pogačar Foundation, which will support young cycling talents in their development. This important step comes in response to his desire to give back to the community and support future generations of Slovenian cyclists. Pogačar, who has become one of the most recognized and successful athletes in cycling history, believes that Slovenia has a wealth of talent that often fails to reach its full potential due to a lack of resources.
The foundation will focus on providing financial and technical support to young cyclists, helping them with education, training, and acquiring the necessary equipment. The goal is to ensure that all talented young athletes have equal opportunities for success, regardless of their financial circumstances or the environment they come from.
“I know how difficult the path to success in cycling can be, and I want to help young people achieve their dreams more easily,” Pogačar said at the launch of the foundation. “Slovenia has a lot of cycling potential, and with the right support, we can create future champions together.”
The Tadej Pogačar Foundation has already received significant support from the cycling community and local businesses, eager to contribute to the growth and development of young athletes.
