Pogačar leads strong squad for Milano-San Remo
Robust line-up for 'La Primavera' as Belgian classics resume
With 15 victories on the board so far this season UAE Team Emirates are continuing their 2023 campaign full of confidence with the next batch of races about to get underway.
In Belgium the team takes on three semi-classics in the shape of Danilith Nokere Koerse (15 March), Gran Prix de Denain (16 March) and the Bredene Koksijde Classic (17 March).
All eyes will be in Milan on Saturday (18 March) as the first of the five cycling Monuments of the year takes place with Milano-San Remo. ‘La Primavera’ is the longest road race of the professional calendar at 294km and the team brings a highly experienced squad led by recent Paris-Nice winner Tadej Pogačar.
Milano-Sanremo [1.UWT] – 18-Mar-2023
Alessandro Covi (Ita)
Davide Formolo (Ita)
Felix Grosschartner (Aus)
Domen Novak (Slo)
Tadej Pogačar (Slo)
Matteo Trentin (Ita)
Diego Ulissi (Ita)
The team will be Sports Manager Joxean Matxin Fernandez (Spa) and the Sports Directors duo of Andrej Hauptman (Slo) and Marco Marzano (Ita).
Pogačar: ” Milano- San Remo is a beautiful race. I know the roads pretty well: I don’t live too far away and sometimes in training I can go to the Poggio and ride it. I’ve pictured many scenarios in my head of how the race can go. But it’s unpredictable and for sure one of the hardest races to win.
After a great week at Paris-Nice I’m recovering a bit now and getting ready for the big weekend.
We have a strong team and we’re riding well together so I think we’ll have a few different options maybe for the finale.”
In Belgium the teams will be lead by Sports Directors Fabio Baldato (Ita) and Marco Marcato (Ita).
