UAE Team Emirates set for Ronde Van Vlaanderen

The UAE Team Emirates classics squad returns to Belgium to take on the biggest of the Flanders Classics: the Ronde Van Vlaanderen (31 March) on Sunday.

The experienced duo of Tim Wellens and Nils Politt will spearhead a strong team who will go in search of defending the crown won by Tadej Pogačar in 2023.

Prior to this there will be another midweek test on the cards for the Emirati squad: Dwars Door Vlaanderen (27 March).

Wellens : “ We’re in good spirits and very motivated coming into Flanders this year. These classics have been a big goal of mine for the first part of the season and we want to do as well as possible. It’s been a good classics period for us so far and we have been present in many finales, though we would like to be closer to the podium as always. Our team is strong with a good atmosphere and attitude to give our best on Sunday. ”

The Italian trio of Sports Directors Fabio Baldato (Ita) ,Marco Marcato (Ita) and Marco Marzano (Ita) will guide the team from the car for both races.
