Juan Ayuso and Tadej Pogacar will race together with UAE Team Emirates in the Giro dell'Emilia and the Tre Valli Varesine
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates has released its teams for 2 of the key classics in the preparation of Il Lombardia as the Giro dell'Emilia and the Tre Valli Varesine. In these formations, we have the novelty of seeing together Tadej Pogacar and Juan Ayuso.
Not only that, but Adam Yates, who finished third in the last Tour de France, will also be in the line-up along with other greats such as Jay Vine, Rafal Majka and Felix Grosschartner. The UAE squad for these Italian classics is tremendous, stronger than the Tour de France squad even...
UAE Team Emirates for the Giro dell'Emilia:.
- Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia)
- Felix Grosschartner (Austria)
- Jay Vine (Australia)
- Juan Ayuso (Spain)
- Diego Ulissi (Italy)
- Rafal Majka (Poland)
- Adam Yates (United Kingdom)
UAE Team Emirates for Tre Valli Varesine:.
- Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia)
- Davide Formolo (Italy)
- Adam Yates (United Kingdom)
- Rafal Majka (Poland)
- Diego Ulissi (Italy)
- Jay Vine (Australia)
- Juan Ayuso (Spain)
Pogacar, who was runner-up in last year's Giro dell'Emilia, has his eyes on these autumn Italian classics. "I really like the Italian autumn classics. I managed to finish perfectly the last two seasons with a victory in Il Lombardia. The motivation is there to repeat it again this year," commented the two-time Tour de France champion.
Pogacar's Italian season starts with the Giro dell'Emilia, a race characterized by its complicated circuit. The Slovenian will also be present at Tre Valli Varesine, a competition he won last year, three days after the Giro dell'Emilia. On this occasion, he will be accompanied by a luxury team, including Ayuso, Majka, Ulissi, Vine and Adam Yates. The only change compared to the Giro dell'Emilia is the inclusion of Davide Formolo in place of Grosschartner.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).
Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- He should have been allowed to go to Movistar. Right now both arent a good fit for each other and are just wasting each other's time and effortabstractengineer08-11-2026
