✍️ We are delighted to announce @sebasmolano_ 🇨🇴 has signed a new long-term contract until 2026. 📝> uaeteamemirates.com/molano-pens-ne… #UAETeamEmirates #WeAreUAE
Juan Sebastián Molano is currently out of competition after recently being hit by a car, however not all is good news for the UAE Team Emirates sprinter. After a very strong start of the season he's signed a new three-year deal with the team.
Molano has won the final stage of the Vuelta a Espana last year showing his speed, and as UAE Team Emirates focuses more and more on their climbers, the fast men field thins down. Alexander Kristoff and Fernando Gaviria are out of the team, Pascal Ackermann is no longer the same dominant figure, and so Molano became the team's main weapon for the flat finishes. He's won a stage at the UAE Tour this year and recently the cobbled GP de Denain.
“I’m extremely pleased to be staying here for the next three years," the Colombian said in a press release. "The team feels like a second family and there is a special atmosphere between everyone. I feel like I’ve grown a lot in this team and I want to continue that growth in the years to come.”
He may become the team's leading sprinter over the coming years, and team manager Mauro Gianetti also expressed his satisfaction with the new three-year deal: “Molano is a rider we have seen progress steadily over the years and really find his place in the team. We trust that we will see many more great things to come from him in the future.”

- It looks like someone is having a hard time understanding the concept of cause and effect. Perhaps Eli can enlighten us as to what the lowest and worst thing is that can happen IN a race, by a competitor.
santiagobenites08-11-2024 - What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
