Tadej Pogačar is currently training at altitude in Sierra Nevada ahead of the Tour de France, according to UAE Emirates-XRG team director Andrej Hauptman, who spoke to RTVSLO on June 4, 2026. Hauptman acknowledged Jonas Vingegaard's strong Giro d'Italia performance but insisted the team remains focused on their own preparation, stating they expect to line up with their strongest team. The squad has faced setbacks, with João Almeida withdrawing before the Giro and Adam Yates, Marc Soler, and Jay Vine all exiting on day two of that race.
