UAE Team Emirates, 5 wins away from breaking HTC's all-time record in a year: Here are the races left to go

UAE Team Emirates' 2024 season can best be described as simply sensational. The team has dominated the entire cycling scene, which has led to a total of 80 victories so far. The all-time record is currently held by Team Columbia-HTC, when in 2009, they had a total of 85 victories.

For a UAE that has achieved everything this year, with victories in Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Liège-Bastogne-Liège as main achievements (all by star man Tadej Pogacar), and also aiming for victory in Il Lombardia next Saturday, October 12, the ambition to be crowned at the top of history keeps the team fully focused on this final stretch of 2024. But how many chances does UAE Team Emirates have left to reach those 85 HTC victories? After failing to win the Coppa Bernocchi with Marc Hirschi, here are all the remaining races in which UAE will be able to add those 6 desired victories.
