UAE Team Emirates' lineup for the Giro d'Italia was reported to have been decided a week ago already, but only today does the Emirati team confirm their '8' for the first Grand Tour of the season. As expected, Tadej Pogacar leads the team on a charge to win the race.
He will be supported by a team made up of Rafal Majka, Felix Grossscartner and Domen Novak who will be his main domestiques in the many long mountain stages that the race presents.
Alongside Majka who was a key domestique before the team's recent signing of a flurry of superstars in recent years, Pogacar's loyal domestiques for the flat and hilly days Mikke Bjerg and Vegard Stake Laengen will also be present as road captains.

The team focuses on it's success at the Tour de France, so much so that despite Pogacar's presence, the team still gave way for Juan Sebastián Molano to have the opportunity to seek success in the sprints, alongside his leadout men Rui Oliveira - the duo worked their way towards a stage win at last year's Vuelta a España.
