Tadej Pogacar has been fined a total sum of $25,000 after an official report found him guilty of performing constant bike tricks during important cycling races.
The Slovenian cyclist, known for his impressive bike handling skills, has been accused of showing off with his tricks, which has raised concerns about safety among riders and officials.
The fine, imposed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), is a significant penalty for Pogacar, who has been dominating the cycling world with his impressive performances.
While Pogacar’s fans may see his bike tricks as entertaining, the UCI has made it clear that safety must come first. “We take the safety of our riders very seriously,” said a UCI spokesperson. “Tadej Pogacar’s actions were unacceptable, and we hope that this fine will serve as a deterrent to others.”
Pogacar has yet to comment on the fine, but it’s likely that he will be more mindful of his behavior on the bike in the future. The fine is a significant blow to Pogacar’s wallet, but it’s a small price to pay for the safety of himself and his fellow riders.
The incident has sparked a debate about the role of bike tricks in professional cycling, with some arguing that it adds excitement to the sport, while others believe it’s a safety risk.
