Prologo Nago R4, Pogacar's throne
The well-known saddle brand Prologo boasts of successes after the 2024 Giro d'Italia, including Tadej Pogacar's pink jersey, which has been celebrated by preparing a personalized edition in that color of the Nago R4 model that the Slovenian cyclist usually uses. In addition to the one placed on the bike, both he and his teammates at UAE Team Emirates received a commemorative plaque with this saddle as the protagonist.
Prologo boasts after certifying a great Giro d'Italia
The Italian brand Prologo is responsible for supplying saddles to the UAE Team Emirates, so they have accompanied Tadej Pogacar in his victories. In the case of the Giro d'Italia, the Slovenian has been using the customized Nago R4 model in pink, with details such as the colors of the Slovenian flag and the personal logo used by Pogacar.
A special edition that we could see on his bike since he won the coveted garment in the second stage after his victory at the Oropa sanctuary.

However, Prologo can boast not only of Tadej Pogacar's victories after this 2024 Giro d'Italia, as there were 8 teams participating in the Corsa Rosa sponsored by the brand. Therefore, in addition to the pink and blue jerseys won by Tadej, they can also boast of having achieved the white jersey of the young classification led by Antonio Tiberi, as Bahrain Victorious is another of the teams sponsored by the brand.
We must also include among Prologo's successes a total of 9 stages. In addition to the 6 achieved by the Slovenian cyclist, we must add the one from the first day by Jhonatan Narváez and the time trial by Filippo Ganna, as INEOS Grenadiers is another of their sponsored teams, to which we must add the one achieved by Georg Steinhauser for EF Education-EasyPost.
In the case of Narváez, the chosen saddle model is the Scratch M5 PAS, the same model as Steinhauser, although the German prefers the version without the PAS antiprostatic opening. Finally, Ganna, on his time trial bike, chooses the specific model for this modality, the Tgale TT CPC, which includes the brand's proprietary CPC grip system at the tip, a real advantage for this modality where, in the past, we even saw cyclists using sandpaper on their saddles to stay stable in the ultra-radical positions used by these specialists in individual time trials. By the way, in the first time trial, in which Tadej Pogacar won, he chose another of the brand's time trial models, specifically the ZeroR Tri PAS.
