Colnago unveils POG1, a new documentary about Tadej Pogačar available to watch for free worldwide

Tadej Pogačar is once again the protagonist of a new documentary. This time it is Colnago that has produced POG1 – The Making of a Legend, an 84-minute film that will premiere on November 13 and will be available for free on YouTube.

POG1, the Colnago documentary that tells Pogačar's story beyond his victories

After a season in which the Slovenian has continued to expand his palmarès, Colnago presents a production that aims to show a lesser-known facet of the champion. Instead of focusing exclusively on his results, the documentary reconstructs his early years in Slovenia, the people who have influenced his career, and the moments that have marked his evolution into one of the great references in the history of cycling.

The film has been developed in close collaboration with Pogačar himself and his team, and it includes interviews, archival footage, and testimonies from people in his personal and sporting environment.

Among the protagonists featured in the documentary are Vincenzo Nibali, Ernesto Colnago, Matt Stephens, and Andrej Hauptman, as well as family members, team members, and other people close to the cyclist.

One of the episodes that Colnago previews features Hauptman, who recalls the first time he noticed Pogačar during a children's race in Ljubljana. Apparently, that child was several meters behind the peloton, but the reality was very different: despite being the youngest participant, he was about to lap the rest of the riders.

The documentary also addresses his defeats, his mentality, and his personal relationships to explain how the trajectory of the Slovenian cyclist has been built.

POG1 arrives just a few days after the premiere of another documentary about Pogačar produced by Eurosport and HBO Max. This is Anatomy of a G.O.A.T., released on November 7, which analyzes his performance from a more scientific perspective. Among the data presented are his 38 resting heartbeats, an HRV of 100 milliseconds, and his surprising ability to maintain sleep quality during the Tour de France.

In contrast to that approach, Colnago's new film emphasizes the personal story of the rider and the testimonies of those who have accompanied his career.

When and where to watch POG1 – The Making of a Legend for free

The documentary is directed by Filippo Barcatta and is the most ambitious audiovisual production that Colnago has developed so far within Colnago Cultura, its content platform dedicated to exploring the history and figures of cycling.

POG1 will premiere on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 4:00 PM CEST, with free access on YouTube from any country.
