Tadej Pogacar wants his third consecutive Il Lombardia victory as is working for it. After being defeated by Primoz Roglic at the Giro dell'Emilia, the Slovenian now takes on his final race day at Tre Valli Varesine where he is tasked with leading a very strong UAE Team Emirates.
With his sprinting ability, certainly Pogacar will be the main weapon for the team, however it is a less selective race in comparison to this weekend's one. Hence, having multiple cards may be quite more helpful, and with climbers such as Adam Yates, Rafal Majka and Jay Vine the team definitely has the power to put other teams under pressure.
When it comes to puncheurs, better suited to this race, the team also has Diego Ulissi and Davide Formolo. Vegard Stake Laengen completes the lineup, taking over road captain role as he did at the Tour de France.
UAE Team Emirates for Tre Valli Varesine:
Tadej Pogacar, Davide Formolo, Vegard Stake Laengen, Rafal Majka, Diego Ulissi, Jay Vine and Adam Yates.
