Keeping Tadej Pogacar at peak level is 'no longer a question of age, but mainly of motivation' says UAE Head of Performance as he nears fourth Tour de France title
Briefly

Tadej Pogačar is on the verge of a fourth victory at the Tour de France, with his current performance attributed to high motivation rather than age. He has expressed fatigue yet a desire for new challenges to maintain his interest in the sport. Team Head of Performance Jeroen Swart believes that Pogačar's sustained success will depend on his enthusiasm for competition. The change of coaches has also contributed significantly to his peak performance over the last two seasons, enabling his pursuit of further titles.
Tadej Pogačar is not merely riding on talent but actively seeks new challenges, such as Paris-Roubaix, to sustain motivation and enhance performance.
Keeping Pogačar at peak performance is about maintaining his enthusiasm rather than focusing on age; fresh challenges are essential for his continued success.
The Tour de France presents repetitive challenges, and despite its familiarity, Pogačar has pushed for variety to stimulate his competitive spirit and drive.
Swart attributes Pogačar's recent peak performance partly to a coaching change, which has contributed to his dominance and pursuit of multiple titles.
