UAE Team Emirates had four riders in the chasing group that battled for the podium at the Tour of Flanders and hope to use that depth for a better result at Paris-Roubaix. After finishing third, fourth and fifth in Belgium, the team carries all of it's weapons to Roubaix in search of a victory.
The team has four options for a result, the main one perhaps Nils Politt who has in the past finished second in the 'Hell of the North' and is in great form, having finished second at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and third at the Tour of Flanders this spring. The German powerhouse, alongside Mikkel Bjerg, are two riders very well suited to the flat power sectors that will be presented.
"I was super happy with last weeks podium in Flanders and the results of the whole team who rode really well with 3 guys in the top-5," Politt said in a press release. "The sensations were really good and as a team we played our cards as good as we could. I’m happy with my condition and could be up there in the final so it’s positive for the objectives ahead. Obviously Paris-Roubaix is a very different race with different characteristics but we are focused and motivated to go for a good result.”
Tim Wellens and António Morgado both of which were also on high display in Flanders will also be part of the team, making for several options to chase a result. The team is completed by Colombian sprinter duo Juan Sebastián Molano and Alvaro Hodeg, as well as Michael Vink.
UAE Team Emirates for Paris-Roubaix:
Mikkel Bjerg, Alvaro Hodeg, Juan Sebastián Molano, António Morgado, Nils Politt, Michael Vink and Tim Wellens.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
