Adam Yates will begin his 2024 campaign at the Muscat Classic on February 9th, backing up with his first stage race of the year at the Tour of Oman (10-14 Feb).

"The team has started the year really well will a few wins already and that’s motivating for those of us who are about to kick-off our first race, so we’re going in with good spirits. My shape is pretty good," says the Brit, who finished on the podium at the 2023 Tour de France to the official website of UAE Team Emirates.

"I’ve been training at altitude for the past few weeks and now I’m keen to get going and test the legs in a race situation," continues Yates. "Obviously the big goal early on will be UAE Tour but these races in Oman will be a bit of an acclimatisation to similar conditions over there, so it should be a perfect tester before the big one in UAE.”

UAE Team Emirates for Muscat Classic & Tour of Oman:

Adam Yates, Finn Fisher-Black, Alvaro Hodeg, Vegard Stake Laengen, Diego Ulissi, Abdulla Alhammadi, Mohammad Almutaiwei.
