UAE Team Emirates continue to prepare for the final goals of the season with ‘Il Lombardia’ on the horizon for defending champion Tadej Pogačar as he leads a fierce line-up for Giro Dell’ Emilia (30 Sept) and Tre Valli Varesine (3 October).

 
Other Italian races on the cards include Coppa Agostoni (28 Sept) and the Coppa Bernocchi (2 Oct).

Meanwhile in Belgium the team faces two one-day classics in the form of Lotto Famenne Ardenne (1 Oct) & Binche-Chimay-Binche. (3 Oct).

Pogačar will lead the line in Italy, supported by a rock-solid team around him as he builds up to the season finale.

 
Pogačar:“ It’s the third year now that I race this Italian block of races and it’s a period I really enjoy. The past two years I’ve finished off the season in the perfect way in Lombardia and we are motivated to go back and try to repeat that. The Giro dell’Emilia is a hard circuit race and an exciting one for the fans and Tre Valli always gets an attacking race too. We have a really strong team here for these races so we will be aiming to go for good results for sure .”

Sports Directors Fabio Baldato (Ita) and Marco Marzano (Ita) will take charge of the team for the Italian block of racing while Fabrizio Guidi (Ita) will guide the team in Belgium.
