The source of Tadej Pogacar's success? UAE renews with an essential team sponsor
Cycling
There is no doubt that Tadej Pogacar is the best cyclist in the world today. His success over the past 12 months has been unrivalled. However, it should also be added that the Slovenian is in the best possible place to exploit this gift he possesses. At UAE Team Emirates - XRG, the world champion has the latest in technology, health and sponsors to best maximize his performance.
Ultrahuman, a pioneer in health optimization, has expanded its partnership with UAE Team Emirates XRG. The collaboration aims to further enhance the team's training, recovery and performance by leveraging Ultrahuman's technology to unlock new levels of efficiency and athletic potential.
At the heart of this partnership is the Ultrahuman Ring, the world's lightest sleep-tracking wearable. This ultra-lightweight design ensures it adapts effortlessly to the team's rigorous training regimen.
Designed for performance and recovery tracking, the Ring AIR provides detailed information on power, recovery and endurance metrics through multi-sensor data streams. This data is leveraged by UAE coaches through a dashboard to access crucial biological information. Coaches remotely access cyclist biomarkers and use the data to make informed decisions about cyclist training and racing. These data include a detailed analysis of the essential phases of sleep-awakening, REM and NREM-sleep, stress rhythm and cardiovascular tone of cyclists, which are critical for designing accurate recovery protocols.
"We are delighted to expand our partnership with one of the world's most successful professional cycling teams, the UAE Team Emirates - XRG," said Mohit Kumar, founder and CEO of Ultrahuman. "Ultrahuman Ring's advanced biomarker insights will continue to empower the team, helping them understand each cyclist's unique training, sleep and recovery needs and optimize them based on evidence-backed knowledge."
Mauro Gianetti, Director and CEO of UAE Team Emirates XRG: "We are delighted to renew our partnership with Ultrahuman. Professional cycling is becoming increasingly data-driven and the information provided by Ultrahuman's technology is invaluable in tailoring training programs for our athletes. The Ultrahuman Ring is not only a key tool for performance, but also, crucially, for monitoring the overall health of our athletes."

- In Track and Field, there's Usain Bolt in the sprints and Kenya's Kipchoge in the marathon. Though Bolt can quite easily beat Kipchoge in the 100m dash, he probably won't even finish a marathon. Tadej won't beat Mathieu in a sprint, yet he wins the TDF while MVDP languishes in 50th place. Both are great champions in their respective fields, but my admiration goes to Tadej for trying.FredMan23-03-2025
- They went into the race as co-leaders!frieders323-03-2025
- He can win that sprint if he plays it right but leaving tha gap was ridiculous ! A spring after 6+ hours isn't a guarantee for MVDPfrieders323-03-2025
- The climbs are steeper on Flanders giving Pogi the advanatge as we saw before when he won!frieders323-03-2025
- VDP is best in a short sprint, so Pog was purposely leaving a gap in hopes that VDP wouldn't have enough to sprint for 310 meters at the end of 300 KM. Kwiatkowski did the same thing to Sagan at that same point and won because of it.acem8223-03-2025
- Ganna started winning the occasional end of season sprint a few years ago. It's been fun watching him change from a TT specialist into something more.RidesHills23-03-2025
- hey look, an insinuating question from 2 years ago! I mean, sure, announcers mentioned tail wind, but whatever. That wasn't going to matter today, not with the 2 best classics riders of the past many generations (you have to go back to the 70s to see two people dominate like this, and even Merckx and de Vlaeminck never managed to win 2 each in the same year, the way Pogacar and Van der Poel have done in the past 2 years).RidesHills23-03-2025
- I like my statistics: Pogacar and van der Poel have won 13 of the last 18 Monuments and are tied at 7 each (MvdP won his first long enough ago that it doesn't show the more recent utter domination.) Oh, and the last 2 road world championships. Oh, and one of them also won the last Tour and Giro, while the other won the CX and Gravel world championships. I mean, anyone reading this site knows all this, but it's worth being amazed by it all every now and then.RidesHills23-03-2025
- Congratulations to all three on the podium. The final seconds reminded me of E3 a few years back, when tiny little Pogacar had no chance against van Aert and van der Poel, but that was just the last few seconds of an incredible race. Everything from the launch on the Cipressa to crossing the line was amazing.RidesHills23-03-2025
- All 3 of them went to doping control
