UAE Team Emirates squads for Tour de Luxembourg & Belgian classics

Hirschi and Wellens headline teams

UAE Team Emirates continue their Autumn calendar of racing with the Tour of Luxembourg (18-22 Sept) and two one-day appointments in Belgium with the GP Wallonie (18 Sept) and the Super 8 Classic (21 Sept).

The in-form Marc Hirschi goes into Luxembourg as reigning champion from 2023 and will aim to be competitive over terrain he knows well. Juan Ayuso will also seek out opportunities and he finds his groove following a long break.

In Belgium Tim Wellens will captain the squad close to his home roads at the GP Wallonie and the Super 8 Classic.

Hirschi : “I’m really enjoying my racing in this period and the good results have been coming which makes everything flow a bit more. Obviously the big goal will be the World Championships at home in Switzerland but I see Luxembourg as a key race in the build-up. It’s a place I have great memories from previous seasons and especially last year where I managed to win it.”

The team for Luxembourg will be led by the Sports Director duo of Andrej Hauptman (Slo) and Jan Polanc (Slo) with Fabio Baldato (Ita) in charge of affairs in Belgium.
