Undoubtedly the strongest team in the peloton across the 2024 season, UAE Team Emirates have begun preparations for next year and bolstered their ranks by acquiring one of Intermarché - Wanty's key workhorses and time trial specialists.
The man in question? GC winner at the 2024 ZLM Tour, Rune Herregodts. "I’m very pleased and excited to be part of UAE Team Emirates for next season," the 26-year-old Belgian tells his new team in an official press release. "It’s one of the best teams in the world and to be there in that group of top riders with the best staff and equipment is something I’m really happy about and looking forward to. I am ready to give my maximum to grow in the team over the coming years.”

With five victories on his palmares to date, Herregodts is expected to come in as more of a helper than a man to contest victory himself. But, with his proven time trial prowess and the benefit of UAE Team Emirates exquisite training system and proven development of riders, don't be surprised to see Herregodts mix it up with the best in 2025.
"We’re very pleased to welcome Rune into the team for next season," adds Mauro Gianetti, Team Principal & CEO at UAE Team Emirates. "He is a powerful rider who is now coming into his best years and we are proud to have him with us for the years to come.”

- First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.
maria2024202424-11-2024 - First of all, calm, this is a site to share point of views, doubts, intuitions about cycling. Let's think about it: if someone tells you that he is very tired but is going to run unimportant races immediately, ignoring a world championship much further away in time that would give him the opportunity to rest, there is something very contradictory. Maybe it is fair, but as a simple spectator I (and many others) do not understand it, it does not make sense.maria2024202424-11-2024
- I think the other side has said plenty, given comments about her reputation like what Renz said above. Perhaps this is her chance to speak up against that reputation? I have no idea but her comments seem pretty human, even if each person has their own version of the story.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Give her a team built around her with no competing leaders, like Pogacar has at UAE or Vingegaard has at Visma (seeing how Roglic left), and I wonder how Vollering would do. She’s already so good, and a team dedicated to her could make her even better.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Those injuries, an ability to manage pain and push himself, probably a load of TUEs to help him get back from an awful moment, and competing that hard without the long exercise base that was the norm - no wonder he was exhausted. We’ve now had two consecutive seasons of the second place rider having an injury that interrupts training, and it shows to what level their bodies are tuned for the insane task of winning the Tour. I certainly hope both (and their teams!) are healthy next year. It would be a first, after 4 years.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Winners seem to be like this. Win or lose, it is always on to the next thing. They don’t celebrate the big win, they don’t worry about the painful loss. They move on. It’s an amazing skill. But to be able to ride (and win) while not being able to walk? That’s a level of pain management that boggles my mind. Of course they have it, given what they put their bodies through, but it’s just crazy.RidesHills24-11-2024
