Pogačar set to lead UAE Team Emirates-XRG at Milano-San Remo

UAE Team Emirates-XRG will hope to continue their strong start to the 2025 campaign with the first of the five classic cycling ‘Monument’ races : Milano – San Remo. The action takes place in Italy on Saturday 22nd March, where the team will look to build on their tally of 18 wins already this season with World Champion Tadej Pogačar leading the hunt for success on the 289 km test, the longest race on the professional road calendar.

The seven rider squad for Milano-San Remo will be under the direction of Sports Manager Joxean Matxin Fernandez (Spa) and Sports Directors Andrej Hauptman (Slo) and Marco Marzano (Ita).

Pogačar: “I was back on the bike already on the Monday after Strade Bianche and had a couple of easier days. Naturally I was a bit stiff and sore, but thankfully I’m feeling good again now.
We’re coming into a really exciting period of racing and I’m feeling ready for Milano-San Remo. I know the final of the parcours really well by now and we’ll hope to light up the race on Saturday. Can we win? For sure it won’t be easy but we will give it a good shot.
As we’ve seen in the past there are a number of scenarios that this race can finish in. For sure we will have a plan and put ourselves in the best position possible. It’s a race we’d dearly love to win.”
