🎥 Beautiful footage: Pogacar hasn't forgotten 12-year-old Mattia after Giro d'Italia

During stage 20 of the Giro on the Monte Grappa, Pogacar rode away from his competition solo. In the last few kilometers of the climb, he could take it relatively easy. The twelve-year-old Mattia saw his chance and enthusiastically ran alongside the pink jersey wearer for a bit. Pogacar appreciated this and handed his bottle to the Italian boy. A kind gesture which caught the world's attention.

The sponsors of UAE-Team Emirates also found this a beautiful moment and decided to offer Mattia a day behind the scenes with the team during the Tour de France, as a surprise for the Italian boy.

All of this was captured on camera and shared in a mini-documentary on YouTube and social media.
