A new name for cycling's top team: Tadej Pogacar's team renamed UAE Team Emirates - XRG into 2025
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates are currently in their final days of the opening team training camp towards the 2025 season and they have in the meantime unveiled their new jersey. Alongside it comes a new title sponsor for the new year, which may actually increase the team's budget even further.
The team already has an extremely high budget, influenced by UAE's state-sponsored budget, which is somewhere in the area of €50-60 million a season. This are the finances that have allowed the team to form a very strong and experienced staff and logistics lineup to support a team that includes many of the current peloton's stars but also a heap of young talents that could develop into the next generation's winners.

- Amazing how much support there still is for cheating in cycling. But the riders are all clean now, right?Sweep17-12-2024

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024
- Whining isn’t a good look, Lance. Oh and doping or not, the GOAT is still Eddy Merckx imho - lance couldn’t t even come close when you compare resultsCrashjames16-12-2024
- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
- ...you could also add diminuer,etiquette,basic PR skills and respect all of which Pidcock lacks in abundance.Senna196016-12-2024
