“The national coach of the men’s cycling team revealed the names of the riders who will compete in this year’s Olympic Games in Paris. Tadej Pogacar, being too tired, will not be among them,” the Slovenian Olympic Committee said.
“He will be replaced by his national team colleague Domen Novak.
“We congratulate the winner of the race across France for another victory in the most prestigious cycling race in the world, and we hope that he will represent the colours of Slovenia at the upcoming Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.”
Pogacar on Sunday became the first rider to achieve the Giro d’Italia/Tour de France double since 1998.
