At the heart of this quest for success are two key riders:
Tadej Pogacar and
Juan Ayuso. Pogacar, demonstrating his power in previous races, remains a strong contender for a Grand Tour victory. On the other hand, Ayuso, despite facing challenges last year, has shown his resilience and skills, competing on equal terms with the best riders in the world, as he demonstrated in the Vuelta a España.
The team is currently in training camp in La Nucia, Spain, preparing for the start of the season. Their initial calendar includes a series of races on the Iberian peninsula and beyond. From the Clásica Comunitat Valenciana to events in Castellón, Mallorca and further afield in the United Arab Emirates, UAE Team Emirates is focused on meticulous preparation to ensure an impactful performance from day one.
"We will be present at key races such as the AlUla Tour and the Tour of Oman, crucial events that are not only important for the team, but also for our valuable sponsors," Matxin added, outlining the strategy for the start of the season.
With a blend of experience and youth, renewed determination and rigorous preparation, UAE Team Emirates is ready to rise to the challenge and fight for glory in the 2024 Grand Tours. Excitement and uncertainty intertwine in the cycling world as the team embarks on this new season, tirelessly pursuing its dream of being crowned the ultimate champions.
