2- I eat small human meat
Eddie Merx, the legend of cycling, was the one who called this Slovenian young man “EL Canibalito” a miniaturization of the “Eating Human Meat” dome in honor of some of the common characteristics between them.
Like Merx, Bugatchhar proved that it is an example of strength and dedication despite his young age and his lack of experience, and both of them won the white, red and yellow shirt at a very early age, and they showed courage in competing with the oldest cycles and their lack of fear of failure.

8- Love for sports cars
Although Bogachsher is a sane person, he is not attracted to bright things, but he recently bought a German sports car, and his wife, Urska Zgart, says, “Finally, he dared to pamper himself by buying what he had long dreamed of a Porsche car.”
