What to know
One of the most exciting squads in the peloton, UAE Team Emirates is bursting with young talent, led by its GC star Tadej Pogačar. Just 21, Pogačar will be given full backing at the Tour de France after he finished third at the 2019 Vuelta a España. Look for Pogačar to challenge for the top five and perhaps grab a stage victory or two.
Our take
We love UAE Team Emirates because of its dedication to youth. Pogačar is a generational talent who could blossom into the next grand tour star. This isn’t the year for him to win the Tour but it’s definitely the year for him to make his early mark.
