Thanks to your votes, UAE Team Emirates have been named the 2024 Team of the Year as part of the CyclingUpToDate End of Season Awards after a landslide victory in our recent poll.
In the most dominant vote of our current awards season so far, UAE Team Emirates took the vast majority of the votes from you, dominantly emerging victorious ahead of the second placed finishers Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, with Team SD Worx - Protime and Alpecin-Deceuninck tied for the final spot on the podium.
Always the more than likely choice for victory, UAE Team Emirates came incredibly close to breaking the all-time record for most victories by one team in a calendar year in 2024. Standout performances from team leader Tadej Pogacar, gave the team a pair of Grand Tour triumphs at the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, plus a pair of monument victories at Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Il Lombardia. More than just Pogacar though, Tim Wellens took the GC at the Renewi Tour, Adam Yates at the Tour de Suisse and Juan Ayuso at the Itzulia Basque Country. Marc Hirschi dominated the end of season one-day races too as almost everyone on the roster chipped in.
This told in the voting too as UAE Team Emirates took a massive total of 75% of the total voting haul. Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team were a distant second place at just 12%, whilst Team SD Worx - Protime (8%), Alpecin-Deceuninck (8%) and Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe (3%) split the remainder of the votes.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
