Adam Yates returns to action for first time since Tour de France as UAE Team Emirates announce Vuelta a Burgos lineup
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates have announced their seven-man lineup for the 45th edition of the Vuelta a Burgos with Adam Yates set to return to action for the first time since finishing on the podium of the Tour de France.
Yates had a brilliant Tour, winning the opening stage and wearing the Maillot Jaune for a number of days early on in the race. Although ultimately he was unable to help Tadej Pogacar overcome the challenge of Jonas Vingegaard, Yates nevertheless had a very impressive race.
Alongside the Brit will be Jay Vine, Juan Sebastián Molano and George Bennett who remains a UAE Team Emirates rider, despite the heavy links with Soudal - Quick-Step. Domen Novak, Portuguese national champion Ivo Oliveira and Ryan Gibbons complete the team.
UAE Team Emirates for the Vuelta a Burgos:
Adam Yates, Jay Vine, Juan Sebastián Molano, George Bennett, Domen Novak, Ivo Oliveira and Ryan Gibbons

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
