CyclingSaturday, 11 January 2025 at 11:45
The kick off for the 2025 World Tour season is almost upon us. Last year, UAE Team Emirates - XRG were far and away the most successful team, and as they look to get this new campaign off to a positive start, Australia's own Jay Vine leads the charge.
“I’m really looking forward to the race," previews the 29-year-old Vine, who took overall victory at the Tour Down Under in 2023, in an official press release via the UAE Team Emirates - XRG website. "I had a really good summer of preparation in Australia and excited to get back to Adelaide for the Tour Down Under, a place where I have some amazing memories. We have a really strong team for the race and are aiming for some big results.”
Alongside Vine, UAE Team Emirates - XRG are bringing a very strong team to the Tour Down Under. Familiar faces of the team Marc Soler and Rui Oliveira and joined by the prodigiously talented Spanish youngster Pablo Torres.
Also present are a trio of new signings in their first race for the team. Former INEOS Grenadiers rider Jhonatan Narvaez, former Intermarche rider Rune Herregodts and signing from Portuguese team Sabgal, Julius Johansen are all set to make their UAE Team Emirates - XRG debut at the 2025 Tour Down Under.

- 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

- Everyone shouts "rider x" is getting better and could beat Pogacar... Tadej is still improving year on year too.....slappers6604-12-2025
- 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
