Tadej Pogacar distances himself from 'fan' after receiving middle finger gesture

Tadej Pogačar completed a training ride of over 130 kilometers on Wednesday afternoon, averaging just under 41 kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, he also claimed a KOM on a segment, as seen on Strava. Until then, nothing special, but the title of his posted ride is: 'An honest question to all fans,' writes the world champion.

Below, he explains an incident that happened to him during the training. It was a less pleasant experience. "If you come across me while I'm talking to someone and ask for a photo, the only thing I ask is two minutes to finish the conversation. Do you wait two minutes, or show me the middle finger and take off angrily?"

The Slovenian from UAE Emirates XRG – who normally makes his season debut at Strade Bianche in early March – writes that the companion of this person also shouted at him. "A long day ended with losing my biggest fan. By the way, I love you all. Even the fans who are not my supporters, as long as they don’t behave like spoiled teenagers."
