CyclingSaturday, 03 February 2024 at 20:30
Although he narrowly missed out on the stage win at the AlUla Tour on Saturday afternoon, UAE Team Emirates' Kiwi sensation, Finn Fisher-Black did enough to secure a place on the overall podium.
“I felt really good on the climb and getting the bonus seconds gave me a bit of confidence," reflected the 22-year-old post-race to UAE Team Emirates social media pages having been edged in a final sprint to the line that held the future of both the stage and the general classification.

Alongside his teammate, Rafal Majka, UAE Team Emirates and Fisher-Black seemed to have the numbers advantage against Simon Yates and William Junior Lecerf. Sadly for the duo, they couldn't use this to their benefit as Yates took the win ahead of Lecerf with Fisher-Black having to settle for third.
"I’m happy to be in a GC situation," Fisher-Black insists nevertheless. "And I think it’s a good learning experience for the future.”

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
