"It’s a race we’d dearly love to win" - Tadej Pogacar leads UAE Team Emirates at Milano-Sanremo
CyclingTuesday, 12 March 2024 at 12:45
The first monument of the year is almost upon us and one of the two, standout candidates for victory will be UAE Team Emirates leader Tadej Pogacar. Especially after his incredible season opener at Strade Bianche.
"I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year like I had in Strade Bianche," the Slovenian says proudly in conversation with the UAE Team Emirates official website. "The team is racing well and achieving good results so we want to stay on that path and keep it going. I’m excited for Milano-Sanremo. The finish is not too far from where I live in Monaco so I know the last part of the race and the final climbs quite well."
With fierce competition from the likes of Mathieu van der Poel, Tom Pidcock and Mads Pedersen among others though, victory is far from assured for Pogacar. "As we’ve seen before, this race is one of the most difficult to win and can end in many outcomes," he analyses. "For sure we will make a plan and put ourselves in the best position possible. It’s a race we’d dearly love to win.”
In his quest for victory, Pogacar will be supported by a very strong UAE Team Emirates lineup that also includes recent podium finisher at Paris-Nice, Brandon McNulty and Classics specialists Tim Wellens and Marc Hirschi.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
