Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar has pulled out of the Olympic Games because of “extreme fatigue”, the Slovenian Olympic Committee has said. Pogacar completed victory in this year’s Tour by taking Sunday’s final stage, which was a time trial, to win the illustrious 3,498km race for a third time. Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz will not be defending his Gold Medal after winning the King of the Mountains category at the Tour this year.
