Tadej Pogačar, the reigning World Champion, was seen training in an all-black jersey rather than his rainbow champion kit while preparing for a time trial. This decision reflects his adherence to cycling etiquette as he is not the champion in that discipline. Despite UCI regulations allowing champions to wear their jerseys during training, Pogačar chose to cover up his rainbow stripes. His teammate confirmed that he always carries a non-champion jersey for such occasions. This highlights Pogačar's respect for the sport and his fellow competitors.
During training rides, Pogačar always takes a non-rainbow jersey with him for this express occasion, showing his commitment to etiquette and respect for the competition.
World champions must wear their jersey in all events in the discipline they won their title. Pogačar adheres to this rule by covering his rainbow stripes.
