CyclingMonday, 23 January 2023 at 17:30
The Mallorca Challenge will see five one-day races spread throughout the closing days of January in the Spanish island, and UAE Team Emirates have announced the riders that will be in action over the five races.
Climbers, classics riders and sprinters will all have their opportunities. Brandon McNulty and João Almeida will be taking the mountainous races more into attention whilst Juan Sebastián Molano will be the team's main option for the sprints. The team includes new signing Domen Novak who will provide support in the climbs.
As is usual however, the team thrives on quality in the classics field. Tim Wellens makes his debut in the UAE outfit, the likes of Diego Ulissi and Matteo Trentin will also be seeking wins in the hilly terrain. Mikkel Bjerg and Rui Oliveira complete the block that is set to rotate throughout the races.
UAE Team Emirates for Mallorca Challenge: Mikkel Bjerg, Brandon McNulty, Domen Novak, Rui Oliveira, Matteo Trentin, Diego Ulissi, Tim Wellens, Juan Sebastián Molano and João Almeida.

- 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
