UAE Team Emirates take on Nils Politt to reinforce classics and GC teams

UAE Team Emirates lead the UCI rankings and are in quite a high position within cycling however they continue to become stronger. After Pavel Sivakov, now the team brings in Nils Politt on a three-year deal.
“I’m really excited to be riding over the next years with UAE Team Emirates. I think it’s one of the biggest teams in the world and also another step in my career," the former German national champion has said in a press release. "I hope we have a lot of success together and achieve some good results together, so I’m really looking forward to the next 3 years.”
Politt has won a stage in the 2021 Tour de France and excels as a rouleur. A classics specialist, he has also a few quality results in the cobbles, however since 2019 he hasn't finished on the Top10 of a monument despite his quality. A breakaway chaser, the BORA - hansgrohe rider has also taken on a role of leadout man but most importantly of support for GC riders when it comes to positioning. He's expected to take on that role in his new team which keeps building it's climber contingent.
“We are very pleased to welcome Nils into the team. He has proven pedigree as a very strong rider and will bolster our classics team as well as our stage racing squad. We hope for many good years working together," Mauro Gianetti, team manager concluded.

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- 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

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
