Pogačar's rumoured 2026 debut offers clues about later goals
Tadej Pogačar is rumoured to be considering a late season debut at Strade Bianche in early March 2026, according to Ciro Scognamiglio of La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Usually kicking things off in February, for instance at the UAE Tour which he won overall for the third time in 2025, the last time Pogačar waited until March to make his first appearance of the season was in 2024 as he built towards a victorious Giro d'Italia.
Though a return to the Italian Grand Tour next year has occasionally been rumoured for the world champion, it is far more likely that he would simply be amending his approach to the Spring Classics, with Milan-Sanremo (21 March) and Paris-Roubaix (12 April) once again top of his wishlist.
