Although Tadej Pogacar won't be present for UAE Team Emirates in their Liege-Bastogne-Liege prelude at La Fleche Wallonne, the team can boast a number of high-profile names and potential dark horses for victory.
Headlined by the runner-up at the Amstel Gold Race last weekend, Marc Hirschi, UAE Team Emirates also have the likes of Portuguese Grand Tour specialist, Joao Almeida and the ultra-talented Spaniard, Juan Ayuso, there is a high possibility that UAE could upset the applecart and take a victory.

- Nice try dude..FredMan15-05-2025
- Like I said, if you want personal opinion, they're a dime a dozen. It is up to the respondent to make sense of what's being asked, IMO. Oh btw, Romingen is great but he's not a Dane.. he's Swiss.FredMan15-05-2025
- All the best for '27 🙏😎
leedorney15-05-2025 - and his "worst" result - 7th in TTmobk14-05-2025
- Mads Pedersen is an absolute beast. He really didn't look like he'd make it up that last climb, but he dug very deep, and was there when it mattered in the end. Three stage wins in the first five stages is very impressive indeed.
santiagobenites14-05-2025 - On one side, he was unhappy due to the TDF no, but i suppose money and other aspects made the differenceabstractengineer14-05-2025
- True, but, Mads has a few more years of collection and his season’s tally will start levelling off whereas Jonas’ should be just starting so even if Mads overtakes him, it’s probably briefly. That now all being clear, obviously the greatest is Tony Rominger, at least that’s their most popular male cyclist, which is another way of saying he must have been great :-) Hey, sorry but if someone’s going to ask rabbit-hole questions, you can only expect rabbit-hole answers.Mistermaumau14-05-2025
- Yeah, “little guy” who already beat Groenewegen and Merlier ;-) Also love how the media overhype anything in cycling, TNT saying this was a HUGE win for the team, let’s go back to using superlatives corresponding to reality. An important win maybe but c’mon, 50 points more than second when we’re at 20000? Had the team gotten 4th 5th and 6th and missed the podium completely they’d have collected more points but NO-ONE except themselves would have written one single word about their performance. Still well done to them for proving that the stage 3 pundit criticism about the little guys was unnecessary.Mistermaumau14-05-2025
- The ranking points between Jakob Fuglsang and Jonas Vingegaard is huge, BTW.. about 6700 ranking points. Mads trails Jonas by 14 points.FredMan14-05-2025
- Greatest ever? Based on CyclingRanking.com, Rolf Sorensen is #1, Jakob Fuglsang is #2, Jonas Vingegaard is #3, and Mads Pedersen is a very close #4. If you'd rather rely on personal opinion, or favorites, or what not, it's anybody's guess.FredMan14-05-2025
