Too Much Negativity: Tadej Pogačar Concerned About Facing Cycling Fans’ Backlash on Social Media While Protecting Newborn Child
Tadej Pogačar, two-time Tour de France champion, has expressed concern over the growing negativity on social media and its potential impact on his newborn child. Despite his remarkable achievements in the world of cycling, Pogačar has often found himself the target of criticism, especially from rival fans and critics who closely follow his every move.
In a recent interview, Pogačar shared how the online hostility has become more personal since the birth of his child. “There’s a lot of negativity out there, and now that I’m a father, it worries me more. It’s no longer just about me, but about protecting my family,” he explained. “I’ve learned to deal with criticism over the years, but when it comes to my loved ones, it’s different.”
As social media becomes a more intense space for athletes, Pogačar’s concerns are shared by many in professional sports. While his team, UAE Team Emirates, continues to stand by him, Pogačar is more focused than ever on ensuring that his family remains shielded from the pressures and negativity that come with life in the spotlight.
