GP Miguel Indurain: UAE Team Emirates’ roster

A combination of experience and youth for the Spanish race

The UAE Team Emirates roster lining up at the start of the GP Miguel Indurain on Saturday, 6 April, is a mix of experience and youth.

 

Cyclists like Tadej Pogačar, Cristian Muñoz, Rui Oliveira and Aleksandr Riabushenko, with an average age of 22, will add sparkle to the solid trio with Sergio Henao, Manuele Mori and Rory Sutherland.

 
Neil Stephens (Aus) and his colleague Aurelio Corral (Esp) will direct these seven riders:
– Sergio Henao (Col)
– Manuele Mori (Ita)
– Cristian Muñoz (Col)
– Rui Oliveira (Por)
– Tadej Pogačar (Slo)
– Aleksandr Riabushenko (Blr)
– Rory Sutherland (Aus)

 

The race will be held in Navarre, starting and finishing in Estella, over 193km with the climbs Alto de Guirguillano, Alto de Lezaun and Alto de Eraul.

 

Sergio Henao counts two podiums in the GP Miguel Indurain (2nd in 2016 and 3rd in 2017).
I like the race very much, both because it suits my characteristics and because I know the course very well, since it takes place near Pamplona, where I live when I’m in Europe,” he said. “I came close to winning the GP Miguel Indurain twice. It would be great to finally hit the bull’s eye wearing my new team’s jersey. We will have a high-level roster and we can aim for a significant result“.
