In late September 2026, Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar was seen training at the Možnjanca climb alongside partner Urška Žigart and Danish cyclist Mikkel Frølich Honoré. While Pogačar was not scheduled to compete in the European Cycling Championships, he planned to attend the event as a spectator. By mid-October, discussions shifted toward Pogačar’s competitive future and potential challengers. Analysts have questioned whether riders such as Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard can bridge the gap to the Slovenian star, suggesting that rising talent Paul Seixas may be a more viable contender despite current performance disparities in high-mountain racing. ~~Additionally, following his recovery from~~ On October 17, 2026, Pogačar clarified the nature of the injuries sustained during the Vuelta a España, ~~there are predictions~~ debunking rumors by stating his crash was caused by hitting a large stone.
