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.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
