Tadej Pogacar's teammates for Volta a Catalunya confirmed - Almeida, Vine, Soler and Sivakov form nuclear climbing block
CyclingSunday, 17 March 2024 at 14:53
UAE Team Emirates have confirmed their lineup for the Volta a Catalunya and it is headlined by none other than Tadej Pogacar. The UAE Team Emirates rider has with him a very strong team fully of climbers.
The Slovenian is the absolute favourite to win the overall classification. Even with a modest lineup, he would still be the man to beat in the seven-day race which features three mountainous summit finishes and a few more hilly stages. Pogacar makes his debut and with him is a team fully made up of climbers, several of which have the chance to also be up there in the fight for the GC.
João Almeida and Jay Vine come off Paris-Nice and could at their best be fighting for the podium; as is Marc Soler and Pavel Sivakov on paper - although the Frenchman has had problems with injuries earlier in the year. Felix Grossschartner and Domen Novak conclude what is an incredibly strong lineup which is expected to overwhelm the capacity of rival teams.
UAE Team Emirates for Volta a Catalunya: João Almeida, Felix Grossschartner, Domen Novak, Tadej Pogacar, Pavel Sivakov, Marc Soler and Jay Vine.

- What? Not Froome to wherever he’s going??? Seriously though, JV did pretty well the year they had Jonas, Primoz and Sepp working « together ».Mistermaumau06-12-2025
- Yet Skjelmose (amongst others) already managed so why not Mads? The implication is more one race once, not consistently in all sorts so why refuse the possibility?Mistermaumau06-12-2025

- Well done Premier Tech and cycling for having put pressure to repair wrongs and reminding certain people to get their projects out of sport. How ironic IPT was saved (or was it a forced arrangement?) by the Spanish. Shame on Infantino with his prize For International Faffing About, BUT, can cycling avoid going down a similar path or will there soon be a prize for Unhealthy Collaboration with Insurgents for Undeclared Arms in El-Fasher?Mistermaumau06-12-2025
- Jay Vine gets singled out only because of how he got into the World Tour. If we want to talk about pros who crash all the time, I would say hands down the name that sticks out is... ROGLIC. But even the greatest cyclists of the past ten years have crashed including Pogacar (TDF 2022, 2023 and 2025, Strade Bianche 2025), Vingegaard (Basque Country 2024), Evenepoel (so many, but TDF 2020 where he literally rode off a freaking bridge sticks out, I honestly thought he was dead/dying... and he also suffered a bit of bad luck crashing into a van door when out on a training ride in late 2024), then there's Froome and Bernal who both suffered such devastating crashes that it could be argued it ended their careers!Pogboom06-12-2025
- What a hilarious take! Remco still in cycling high school? Dude has 67 victories. 4th most wins among active riders, one GT, stages in all three GTs, road WC and multiple TT WC, double Olympic champ, 2 monuments etc etcmobk06-12-2025
