UAE Team Emirates take aim at Milano – San Remo

UAE Team Emirates will continue their 2022 campaign with the first of the five classic Monuments, Milano – San Remo in Italy on Saturday 19th March.

After a prolific start to his season, including victories at the UAE Tour, Strade Bianche and the recent Tirreno-Adriatico, Tadej Pogačar will be the designated leader. However the 23-year old will count on a team of strong reinforcements alongside him for the longest race on the professional calendar at 293km.

 
The seven rider squad will be under the direction of Team Manager Joxean Matxin Fernandez (Spa) and Sports Directors Andrej Hauptman (Slo) and Marco Marzano (Ita).

Pogačar: “ I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year. The whole team has pulled together and worked really hard so I think it is showing in our results as a group. I’m excited for Milano-San Remo. The finish is not too far from where I live in Monaco so I know the last part of the race and the final climbs a bit.

As we’ve seen before, this race is one of the most difficult to win and can end in many outcomes. At UAE we have a team prepared for all the different options so we’re ready for what is sure to be a great race.”
