Hirschi, Ulissi and Bennett to support Tadej Pogacar as UAE Team Emirates confirm Flèche Wallone lineup
CyclingTuesday, 18 April 2023 at 12:38
Tadej Pogacar confirmed at the start of Amstel Gold Race that he would race Flèche Wallone and the lineup for UAE Team Emirates has been announced. The Slovenian takes part in the second of the Ardennes classics with the intention of taking a second win and he should be the man to beat.
Pogacar won Amstel Gold Race in dominant fashion, just as he had the Tour of Flanders two weeks before. Flèche Wallone is a different type of effort, with the brutal gradients of the Mur de Huy the most decisive spot of the race. Pogacar has ninth as his best career result in the Belgian classic but is hoping to come out victorious and within a shot of winning all three classics.
Supporting him will be the only rider at the start line who has won the race in the past Marc Hirschi, but also Diego Ulissi, George Bennett and Felix Grossschartner who should be his main support men until the final climb. Vegard Stake Laengen and Michael Vink conclude the lineup for the UAE team.
UAE Team Emirates for Flèche Wallone:
Tadej Pogacar, George Bennett, Felix Grossschartner, Marc Hirschi, Vegard Stake Laengen, Diego Ulissi and Michael Vink.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
