Pogačar returns to lead for GP Quebec & Montreal

UAE Team Emirates will head to North America this week for two important races in Canada in the shape of the GP Cycliste de Quebec (13 Sept) and GP Montreal (15 Sept).

Tadej Pogačar will spearhead a very strong team in Canada, with former GP Montreal winner Tim Wellens and the returning Juan Ayuso re-enforcing the squad.

 
Pogačar: “ I’ve had a good break from racing and am eager to get back to it now starting in Canada. It’s a beautiful part of the world to ride a bike in and I have great memories here from two years ago. The level will be high there as always and we will need to be at our best. Whatever happens for the rest of the season I can be happy with what I’ve achieved this year. Anything else will be a bonus.
My condition is good and I’m focused on enjoying and doing well in this last part of the season.”

The seven-man squad will be led by Sports Director Simone Pedrazzini (Swi).
