Tadej Pogačar (Slovene pronunciation: (About this soundlisten); born 21 September 1998) is a Slovenian cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates.

He became the youngest winner to win a World Tour race when he won 2019 Tour of California at just 20 years of age. Pogačar also won three stages at 2019 Vuelta a España and one stage at 2020 Tour de France.

In 2019 he extended his contract with UAE Team Emirates at least until the end of 2023 season. In August 2019, he was put on the startlist for the 2019 Vuelta a España. He won two stages in the 2nd week of the Vuelta and was in a high overall position going into the 3rd week. However, in the final week Nairo Quintana and Miguel Ángel López rode well and in the process jumped him in the standings, knocking him off the podium. Then he took his 3rd stage win in a 40-kilometre (25-mile) solo breakaway on the penultimate stage and gained enough time over his opponents to take over the Young Rider Jersey and climb back into the final podium position before the last stage in Madrid.

He is slated to be on the start list for the 2020 Tour de France and has said he will go into the race with the same mindset he had going into the 2019 Vuelta. "If Aru feels really good we'll go for the Yellow Jersey and I'll support him 100%".
