It may not happen next year, but in 2027: what will be the hook? The turn finds the way Pogacar returns
With a reinforced classic campaign, the D´IALIA Giro was not in the plans of Tadej Pogacar this year. Slovenian himself pointed out days ago that if he went to turn “it is more difficult to make a spring like that.” If he did, he would last a week, “he admitted. However, he could soon return to the Italian race: RCS- the organizer- made a great effort to attract Pogacar last year- edition in which he ended up triumphing- and now he has a new idea to bring him back.
Beppe Conti, RAI journalist, said at RadioCorsa- a weekly cycling program- that the D´IALIA Giro could leave Arab Emirates in 2027. For now, next year, in 2026, the chance is that he leaves the northeastern city of Trieste in Italy itself.
It will be another distant start in distance for the turn that already knew how to start in Israel in 2018. If you get to realize, the accusations of “Sportwashing” will not be missing again: countries without tradition in sport (in this case, cycling) that try to clean their International image injecting money. On the positive side, it is very likely that this announcement will serve as “carrot” to make Pogacar return to the turn. For obvious reasons of sponsoreo, the leader of the UAE participated in numerous opportunities in the UAE Tour, a race that took three opportunities (2021, 2022 and 2025), despite being a career that, according to some analysts, even hinders in its preparation for the season.
In terms of great laps, the Slovenian only needs to succeed in the Tour of Spain, a race in which he could participate this year after the tour and prior to the World Cup but in which there is still no official confirmation.
