Allan Peiper returns to UAE Team Emirates on request of Tadej Pogacar

Although the riders are often the most praised parts of a cycling team, much of it's success is based on the team's staff. UAE Team Emirates welcomes back Allan Peiper who led the team to two Tour de France wins alongside Tadej Pogacar after recovering from his cancer treatment.
Because of health reasons, last winter Peiper distanced himself from pro cycling. “When Allan stopped for his health reasons I said there would always be a place for him and when he called me I was really happy to maintain that promise: not for the job but because he finally got back in good health, which is really the best news," Maurio Gianetti said in a press release. "In the meantime the team has grown but it is always a pleasure to have his experience and expertise close at hand.”
However, having better sensations and much to the request of the Slovenian who finished second at the Tour de France this past season, Peiper is set to return to the peloton. Pogacar is eager to resume the work with the highly-experienced DS.
“Throughout the past year we’ve maintained in contact and I’m grateful to Mauro and the team for the opportunity to return. It’s been great to see the team doing so well," Peiper himself said. He has been beside Pogacar in both of his victories at the Tour de France, and will be an important addition to UAE.
"I love this sport and the team so to be back involved is really good.It’s going to be a less intensive role for sure, I’m not going to be in the car like before but I’ll be able to focus on some specific elements and offer feedback to the sporting department which can hopefully be beneficial on the road," he concluded.
