As reigning World Champion following his unstoppable 101km ride to glory in Zürich last September, 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Tadej Pogačar has every right to wear the rainbow jersey whether he's rꩵacing in the WorldTour, training at a team camp, or pootling around home roads in Monaco.

However, ahead of a 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:UAE Team Emirates-XRG training ride at Pico Veleta on Tuesday, the Slovenian was spotted covering up his rainbo🎃w jersey with an all-black team-issue Pissei jersey.

While the bike was all black and white, too, he wasn't going for colour coordination. The reason? Pogačar was setting off for a tune-up on his Colnago TT1 time trial bike, but instead, he was hiding rainbow stripes as he isn't the world champion in that discipline. Of course, 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) ho🌜lds the rainbow jersey in the time trial, havin🐭g beaten Filippo Ganna to the title by six seconds in Zürich.

There are no UCI regulations preventing riders of any level from wearing a world champion's jersey during training. Pogačar is, of course, prohibited from wearing the rainbow stripes during a time trial.

"World champions must wear their jersey in all events in the discipline, speciality and category in which they won their title, and no other event, until the evening of the day before the commencement of the next edition of the world championships▨ of said discipline, specia๊lity and category," reads UCI regulation 1.3.063.

Still, Pogačar stuck to a piece of cycling etiquette and covered his rainbow stripes for his time on the time trial bike. 

The video, caught by 'jmisniak' and published on Lucas' cycling blog on Facebook, caught Pogačar tucking the rainbow-piped sleeves of his jersey under the black jersey to cover them up.

During training rides, Pogačar always takes a non-rainbow jersey with him for this express occasion. This fact was revealed by his UAE teammate Rune Herregodts during an interview with back in February.

"Do you know what I thought was great? During training, we sometimes switch from a regular bike to a time trial bike. Then he always insists on taking a regular jersey with him, in addition to the rainbow jersey he was wearing," 𝔉Herregodts tolꦓd the Belgian paper.

"He doesn't want to sit on his time trial bike with h🦄is rainbow jersey. 'Out of respect for Remco', he says. He would rather ride with a jersey in his pocket all the time.

"He even rolls up the rainbow band⛎s on his pants when he's on his time🗹 trial bike. Fancy, right? In terms of respect, that counts."

Pogačar's training ride at his team's training camp in Sierra Nevada, Spain, came ahead of his return to racing at the Critérium du Dauphiné, where he'll face off against Evenepoel and 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bi⭕ke) ahead of the Tour de France.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Critérium du Dauphin&ea🌟cute; route features three summit finishes as well as a mid-race 17.7km time trial, while other 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询ܫ开奖结果:general classification contenders at ཧthe race include Enric Mas (Movistar),🍌 Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers), and Florian Lipowi🌳tz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).
