In the absence of Tadej Pogacar, UAE Team Emirates takes new leaders to E3 Saxo Classic - Wellens, Politt and Morgado lead team in the cobbles

Tadej Pogacar is absent from the cobbled classics this year, not taking part in the Tour of Flanders or the other classics including the E3 Saxo Classic. In his absence, the team presents a new set of leaders including Tim Wellens.
The team features Tim Wellens who has performed greatly over the Opening Weekend with a second place at Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne, and helped Tadej Pogacar at Milano-Sanremo. He's joined by Nils Politt who was second at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, and António Morgado who impressed into second at Le Samyn.
The team will have more modest ambitions surely as the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Mads Pedersen are also present; not only Team Visma | Lease a Bike. Marc Hirschi and Mikkel Bjerg could be an interesting outsiders whilst the lineup is completed by Michael Vink and Ivo Oliveira.
UAE Team Emirates for E3 Saxo Classic:
Mikkel Bjerg, António Morgado, Marc Hirschi, Ivo Oliveira, Nils Politt, Michael Vink and Tim Wellens.
*Covi was initially set to lineup for E3, but has been replaced by Morgado.

- 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
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- 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
