UAE Team Emirates ready for the Ronde

After an impressive podium at E3 Saxo Classic in Harelbeke, Tadej Pogačar returns to Belgium to take on the biggest of the Flanders Classics: the Ronde Van Vlaanderen (2 April) on Saturday.

Prior to this there will be another test on the cards for the Emirati squad: Dwars Door Vlaanderen (29 March).

The team brings a wealth of classics experience most notably through veterans Matteo Trentin and local favourite Tim Wellens.

 
Pogačar : “ Last week in E3 we had a great race and a good battle between the rivals and I’m looking forward to doing it all again on Sunday.
My first experience in Flanders last year was something I’ll never forget, the energy of the race and the passion for cycling in Belgium is something special. I feel I’m ready and the team is ready so we’ll give the Ronde our best shot.”

Sports Directors Fabio Baldato (Ita) and Marco Marcato (Ita) will guide the team from the car for both races.
