🔥 “IT’S COMPLETELY UNFAIR” – TADEJ POGACAR IGNITES CYCLING FIRESTORM OVER URSKA ZIGART’S CONTROVERSIAL ELIMINATION

Tadej Pogacar, four-time Tour de France champion and one of the most iconic figures in modern cycling, has just shaken the entire cycling world to its core with a furious and emotional outburst. His anger stems from what he has publicly called a “completely unfair and manipulated” decision to eliminate his partner, Slovenian cyclist Urska Zigart, from the Giro Donne — despite her finishing within the top 10 overall. The controversy has ignited immediate backlash and triggered a full-blown crisis behind the scenes of one of the most prestigious races in women’s cycling.

According to reports, Zigart was removed under what race officials vaguely described as “technical disqualification.” But Pogacar, known not only for his relentless dominance on the road but also for his candid personality, did not mince words. Just hours after the announcement, he posted on social media with explosive statements accusing race organizers of bias, favoritism, and being influenced by what he calls “a system that only protects its own.”

“This is not about bad luck or small mistakes,” Pogacar wrote. “It’s about a system that doesn’t want certain riders to succeed. Urska earned her place. She was top 10. She fought every single stage. And they kicked her out because she’s not part of their inner circle.”

The statement went viral within minutes, receiving hundreds of thousands of likes, shares, and comments — many from fellow cyclists, fans, and journalists who are now demanding transparency and accountability. Even some retired pros joined the conversation, expressing concern over what they described as a “growing pattern” of political influence in determining race outcomes.

Sources close to the Giro Donne organization confirmed that the backlash was so overwhelming that the race committee was forced into an emergency closed-door meeting the same day. While officials initially stood by the disqualification, citing undisclosed technical infractions, the tone appeared to shift by the evening as internal pressure mounted.

One source revealed that members of the organizing committee had clashed sharply during the meeting, with some threatening to resign if the decision wasn’t reviewed. “It’s a mess,” the insider said. “This isn’t just about Urska. This is about who controls women’s cycling and whether we’re going to let the sport be dominated by hidden agendas.”

By late evening, rumors began circulating that the committee would issue a revised decision, possibly reinstating Zigart or at least launching an independent review. Pogacar’s public fury may have not only given voice to widespread discontent in the peloton but also forced the first cracks to show in a system long rumored to be untouchable.

Beyond the drama, the incident raises broader questions about governance, fairness, and integrity in both men’s and women’s cycling. With the Vuelta and Il Lombardia fast approaching, many now wonder whether Pogacar’s explosive accusations will cast a long shadow over the rest of the season.

As of now, Urska Zigart has not spoken publicly. But insiders say she is “devastated but grateful” for the overwhelming support, especially from Pogacar, whose stance has turned a personal injustice into a public reckoning.

What began as a single disqualification has now become a catalyst for larger conversations — and possibly, long-overdue change. One thing is certain: the world of cycling won’t forget this day anytime soon.
