Cycling superstar Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates will chase a fifth Tour de France title in 2026 but said he is even more motivated by two one-day Monuments that have so far eluded him: Paris-Roubaix and Milan-San Remo.

The 27-year-old Slovenian was speaking Saturday at a preseason training camp in Benidorm, Spain.

"I'm going to do Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo, the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege, the Tour de Romandie, and the Tour de France. And then we'll see, that's already quite a lot," Pogacar said.

"If I could choose between a win at Roubaix or the Tour, I would choose Roubaix because I have already won the Tour four times," he added. "There is a bigger difference between zero and one than between four and five."

Already a Tour de France champion in 2020, 2021, 2024, and 2025, Pogacar can join an elite group of five-time winners alongside Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain, and Jacques Anquetil next July.

Pogacar Seeks Completeness With Monument Victories

"The Tour de France is of course the biggest race. Everybody always arrives ready, teams always send their best riders and you have to be fully prepared," Pogacar said.

"But if I won Roubaix and San Remo, I would feel sort of complete. Still, there's always something else, like the Vuelta a España, which I haven't won either," he said, while declining to confirm whether he will race the Spanish Grand Tour in 2026.

Isaac Del Toro To Join Pogacar At The Tour de France

UAE Team Emirates also confirmed that breakout Mexican rider Isaac Del Toro will race the Tour de France next season.

Del Toro burst onto the international stage last May when he finished second at the Giro d’Italia, narrowly missing overall victory behind Simon Yates.

"The team's idea is for me to learn as much as possible alongside Tadej, whose level I want to reach one day," Del Toro said.

Pogacar spoke highly of his young teammate.

"Maybe he's going to be better than me one day. He has his own way, his own style, and I admire him as a rider and as a person, and I hope he keeps going that way," Pogacar said.
