UAE Team Emirates announces team for Tour de France - Tadej Pogacars lead the way
CyclingMonday, 27 June 2022 at 10:15
The UAE Team Emirates has announced their team for the Tour de France, which begins on Friday in Copenhagen, Denmark. Tadej Pogacar will lead the team, supported by a mix of climbers and flat-terrain riders that are set to protect him.
Rafal Majka has shown his ability with stage victories in the Tour of Slovenia. He will lead the support crew with newcomers Marc Soler and George Bennett adding extra firepower for the mountains, alongside Brandon McNulty while Matteo Trentin brings depth and experience for the first week and assist Tadej with stage wins. Tadej Pogacar has won the Tour de France in 2020 and 2021, and he will do all in his power to continue his winning streak.
“It’s already my third time coming to the Tour and I’m really excited about it. We’ve worked really hard all year as a team to prepare for this and we hope we can give everyone watching 3 weeks of exciting racing. This year so far has been a positive one for the team and we are hoping to continue that here at the Tour," the Slovenian said. He just came off his home race the Tour of Slovenia where he won the overall classification, and will be looking to defend himself as the man to beat in France.
The lineup is concluded with two experienced rouleurs who will look to keep the 23-year old safe in the flat stages that should be very tense in the opening days with Vegard Stake Laengen and Mikkel Bjerg.
UAE Team Emirates for Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar, Rafal Majka, Brandon McNulty, Marc Soler, Matteo Trentin, Vegard Stake Laengen, George Bennett and Mikkel Bjerg.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
