Tadej Pogačar will not compete in any more races this year, according to UAE Emirates sport director Matxin Fernández. The announcement came shortly before the start of Stage 14 of the Vuelta a España near Jaen. While expected, Pogačar’s season conclusion marks the end of his campaign for 2023. Separately, another UAE Emirates rider, Ivo Sivakov, reportedly collapsed during the same stage. Details surrounding Sivakov’s collapse are currently limited, adding another layer of concern for the team. Fernández confirmed the news to iDNES.cz, anticipating an official statement. This ends Pogačar’s hopes for further victories this season.
