UAE Team Emirates have taken their 20th win of the season today in Italy as Marc Hirschi took a win on his first day of racing in 2022. The Swiss puncheur has had a late start to the season due to a hip surgery but has came back in form and just in time for the Ardennes classics.
The day after Milano-Sanremo, and on the even of the Volta a Catalunya - aswell as the upcoming classics period - the men's peloton has had a calmer day where many of the world's best took time to rest. In Italy however, some World Tour teams took to the start of the puncheur-friendly Per Sempre Alfredo.
The 172-kilometer race was defined on the climbs, as Marc Hirschi delivered the decisive move in the final climb (3.6Km at 6.1%) and went on to arrive at the finish solo with a small but sufficient winning gap. Dion Smith and R´émy Mertz completed the podium leading in the chasing group that finished 3 seconds behind.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
