UAE Team Emirates are finalising their 2025 roster with Rune Herregodts the latest signing incorporated into the Emirati squad for next season.

 

Herregodts will bolter the teams ambitions in the Northern classics and add horsepower through his proven track record as a strong time trialist .

He signs with the Emirati team until the end of 2026.

 

Herregodts: “I’m very pleased and excited to be part of UAE Team Emirates for next season. It’s one of the best teams in the world and to be there in that group of top riders with the best staff and equipment is something I’m really happy about and looking forward to. I am ready to give my maximum to grow in the team over the coming years.”

 

Mauro Gianetti (Team Principal & CEO) : “We’re very pleased to welcome Rune into the team for next season. He is a powerful rider who is now coming into his best years and we are proud to have him with us for the years to come.
