Juan Sebastián Molano won a stage at the UAE Tour and most recently the GP de Denain. The UAE Team Emirates sprinter was in great form and was expected to lead the team at Gent-Wevelgem, but a training crash sees the end of his spring campaign with bad injuries.
Unfortunately Juan Sebastián Molano will be ruled out of Gent - Wevelgem having sustained numerous injuries in a training crash in Belgium," a team announcement said. "Amongst his injuries, Molano suffered concussion and a fractured toe which will keep him on the sidelines for some weeks."

Whilst Molano skipped the E3 Saxo Classic where the team's ambitions passed through Tadej Pogacar, he stayed in Belgium training in anticipation for Sunday's race where he would be an outsider.
In the absence of the Slovenian, Pascal Ackermann becomes the likely leader of UAE for the Belgian classic, whilst Tim Wellens and Matteo Trentin remain outsiders.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- 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
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
