First day back, last day with the rainbow. Tadej Pogacar returns to road cycling after the injury sustained from a crash at the Vuelta a España and bids farewell to the rainbow jersey, which from tomorrow will have a new owner, at least for one year. 

The reigning world champion enjoyed a ride with a coffee break together with his girlfriend Urska Zigart (Ag Insurance Soudal Cycling Team), who is also sidelined with an injury and not in Canada on the roads of Montreal, his girlfriend's teammate Gladys Verhulst with her husband Damian Wild, and Irish colleague Eddie Dunbar (Q35.5 Pro Cycling).

Training companions in the Monaco area and wounds, displayed with pride in a video taken during the bar stop. The UAE Emirates XRG captain with a smile returns to doing what he loves and bids farewell to the symbol of number 1 in the world that, we're ready to bet, will soon return to his shoulders.
