UAE Team Emirates head to Tour de Romandie with two-pronged GC attack in Adam Yates & Juan Ayuso
CyclingMonday, 22 April 2024 at 15:30
After an excellent weekend for the team that saw wins for Tadej Pogacar at Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Antonio Morgado at the Giro della Romagna, UAE Team Emirates have revealed a top-quality lineup for the 2024 Tour de Romandie.
Leading the charge, a two-pronged general classification attack of Adam Yates and Juan Ayuso. “I have great memories from this race – it’s where I took my first ever World Tour win as well as being a beautiful region and place to race a bike," Ayuso says in a preview to the UAE Team Emirates' official website ahead of the race. "The form is good and we’ll be aiming to go for a big result with the quality of the team we have.”
“Obviously coming back as the defending champions we have a bit of expectation to do well again this year," adds Adam Yates, who triumphed ahead of Matteo Jorgenson and Damiano Caruso at the 2023 Tour de Romandie. "My first race back in Abruzzo was good and I think the form has come on another level since then so it’s all going in the right direction.”
With the likes of Brandon McNulty and Pavel Sivakov also potential general classification options and further support from Jan Christen, Felix Grossschartner and Ivo Oliveira, UAE Team Emirates will have strong ambitions of continuing their run of victories.

- And if you think it’s bad at these levels, just go ask people at club level, dying by the dozen together with the races they organised. It doesn’t matter how many new bike and race types you propose to fake the truth, the total numbers keep reducing.Jumpyjohn14-11-2025
- I seriously doubt the intentions of writers who keep harping on the frailties of a once-respected competitor. It only goes to show that cycling lacks any relevance to present-day concerns, if all we can write about is the opinion of people who lament the greatness of the current crop of riders. RDV may be old, but he's still entitled to his opinions, but to air them repeatedly only exposes him to ridicule, and that is not fair, from the journalistic POV.FredMan14-11-2025

ScottG14-11-2025 - he retired a long time ago, he was just drawing a 5 mil salary for the last five years. year 1 "i want to win the TDF again" year 2 "I want to podium the TDF" year 3 "i want to win a stage in the tdf" year 4 "i want to participate in the TDF" year 5 is the year he understood that he could not compete in the TDFabstractengineer14-11-2025
- Roger de Vlaeminck is one of cycling's greatest legends, he is also a senile idiot. Both can be true at the same time. Brian Holm also falls into that category. To say that he will not be dropped with any data to support such claim🤦abstractengineer14-11-2025

- Cycling as a sport has one of the weakest merch games I've ever seen. I am a fan of the sport, and do not cycle myself - and there is a complete lack of opportunities for me as a fan of the teams or specific riders to hand them my money in ways that I can (and do) for other sports and musicians. It's all very well selling cycling kit to the fans who ride, but it's like Metallica only selling high end guitars and drums on their website. These teams could be making a not-insignificant amount of money by selling the kind of fandom merch that (unfortunately for them) only really exists on places like Etsy, made by third parties. I want to support the teams and riders I like, but there's hardly any way for me to do it as a non-riding fan. And if the sport really wants to expand, it needs to attract more fans like me, and good quality, well-designed merchandise is the way to do it. Not with cycling jerseys, the occasional embarrassing dad tshirt or fifty euro coffee mug.antipodeanpedalfan14-11-2025
