Tadej Pogačar leads squad for Il Lombardia

UAE Team Emirates head into the last Monument of the year with Il Lombardia in Italy on Saturday 12th October, with Tadej Pogačar going in search of another title at ‘The race of the fallen leaves’. The team have all eyes on them as reigning champions of the past three editions in 2021,2022, and 2023.

Pogačar will count on a strong team around him as he goes in search of a third title in Como.

 
Pogačar : “The first race in the rainbow colours was something special. Giro Dell’Emilia was always a race that got away from me but I was delighted to be able to take the win there finally last weekend. The shape is still very good and I want to give it one last push now for Lombardía. It’s been the perfect season for us this year. All the team we worked really hard and things really clicked for us. I’ll definitely look back on this year as a really special time. But it’s not over yet and we want to finish it off well and with a strong result in my last race of the season in Lombardia. ”

The team will also be in action in on Thursday at Gran Piemonte on 10 October, with Italian veteran Diego Ulissi captaining a youthful team. In France a select few riders will participate in the Chrono des Nations time trial in France.

Sports Manager Matxin Fernandez (Spa) along with the Sports Director pairing of Fabrizio Guidi (Ita) and Marco Marzano (Ita) will lead the squad.
