"What's certain is that he won't be doing the three big Tours next year," Team UAE sports director Joxean Fernandez Matxin said. "I'd like to race all three Tours one day but there are 30 riders in the team you know, and I can't race everything," Pogacar said. Everything went super smoothly, I managed to be in great shape in every race," said Pogacar who at only 26 years old, feels "still young" and believes he can "progress", particularly on the "small details".
