Hamburg Classic: UAE Team Emirates betting on Kristoff

UAE Team Emirates is going to Germany for the 23rd edition of the Hamburg Classic on Sunday, August 19.

The Emirati formation will be participating with a squadron built around Alexander Kristoff, who already won here in 2014 and who has always figured among the top 5 finishers in the last five editions.

“I’ve achieved lots of good results in the last editions of the Hamburg Classic and I really know how to manage this race,” explains the Norwegian.“We have a strong team and we’re well prepared; I will definitely be gunning for another top placement.”

So it should all come down to a final sprint, with Bono and Marcato ready to handle the pre-sprint phases and a nice bunch of fast athletes who can set Kristoff up for a perfect launch on the final backstretch.

Here are the seven riders who are ready to represent UAE Team Emirates under the orders of DS Mario Scirea (Italy):

-Matteo Bono (Italy)

-Simone Consonni (Italy)

-Roberto Ferrari (Italy)

-Alexander Kristoff (Norway)

-Marco Marcato (Italy)

-Rory Sutherland (Australia)

-Oliviero Troia (Italy)
