The cycling world was left stunned when news broke that two of its most celebrated athletes, Tadej Pogačar and Urška Žigart, had officially moved forward with their divorce. Once seen as the golden couple of the sport, their split has now taken a dramatic turn with the signing of a petition that finalizes their separation and ensures an equal distribution of their accumulated wealth.
Sources close to the couple revealed that the decision was mutual, though not without emotional turmoil. Pogačar, a multiple-time Tour de France champion, and Žigart, a rising star in women’s cycling, had built a life together that extended far beyond the race tracks. From shared sponsorships to joint investments in real estate, their financial entanglement made the separation all the more complex.
Rumors swirled that tensions had been brewing behind the scenes for months, with conflicting schedules and the pressures of professional cycling taking their toll. Despite the personal challenges, both athletes remained committed to fairness, leading to an unprecedented agreement—one that would see all earnings, prizes, and assets accumulated during their time together split down the middle.
Legal experts have called this move rare in the world of elite sports, where divorce settlements often favor one party over the other. Yet, Pogačar and Žigart’s insistence on equality speaks volumes about their respect for each other, even as their romantic partnership comes to an end.
While fans mourn the end of their fairytale romance, the two cyclists have assured the public that their careers remain their top priority. “Some races aren’t meant to be won together,” Pogačar was quoted as saying. “But we both move forward with gratitude.”
