Four-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar has decided against taking part in the Spanish Vuelta as he recovers after winning cycling’s biggest race.

Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia outclassed the field with a convincing victory in the world's most prestigious cycling race. Highlights, results are here.

The roads were dangerously slippery after heavy rain. A fourth Tour de France title was all but won anyway, so finishing safely in the pack would do fine for Tadej Pogačar. Especially considering Sunday's final stage had already been neutralized for safety reasons and he just had to complete the race.
