Five potential leaders at Strade Bianche - UAE Team Emirates opt with depth on white roads
CyclingThursday, 02 March 2023 at 15:00
UAE Team Emirates are a team of immense depth and talent. Sometimes without the presence of a decided leader it can lead to unexpected results, and at Strade Bianche the defending winner's team are setting off with multiple options for a strong result.
Tadej Pogacar has decided not to take part in the Italian race, instead to fully focus on his Paris-Nice campaign. To replace him is a very strong team where all seven riders realistically have chances of a good result.

Tim Wellens has won a stage at the Vuelta a Andalucia and has shown brilliant form on the Opening Weekend, attacking both classics and causing decisive splits. He will perhaps be the most dangerous weapon from the team as this type of race should suit his classics-style of racing perfectly.
The team comes with Italian trio of Diego Ulissi, Alessandro Covi and Davide Formolo, all of which are riders who've shown great form at different points this season and can be dangerous. Brandon McNulty has not been on his best form but will without a doubt be another rider to consider. The team is completed by Sjoerd Bax and George Bennett.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
