Pogačar's jersey sets record auction price for charity

Tadej Pogačar's cycling jersey was auctioned for 1.03 million Swedish kronor on Sunday before he competed in Paris–Roubaix, with the price being the highest ever paid for a cycling jersey and the proceeds going to Pogačar's own foundation for vulnerable children. The jersey, signed by Pogačar and his teammates, was sold to an anonymous buyer after bidding started at just over 10,000 kronor, and the auction has now brought in over three million kronor for the foundation, with Pogačar promising to double the amount for the needy children. In the Paris-Roubaix race, Pogačar crashed severely with 32 kilometers left but went on to win with a torn jersey and broken bicycle.
