UAE-Team Emirates thread

[Unchained]

I was just wondering if he was bigger bc he's scheduled for Amstel, Fleche and Liege :O Or it's PCS making fun of things as usual.

I have been right next to bike racers that are as skinny as supermodels!! But on the bike many appear to have bellies!! And with diaphragm contractions many guys look to have guzzled beer and eating lots of cake, as soon as they sit up straight, super skinny again!!

It's called gravity and the lack of well developed abs.

“Zonder Pogacar hangt UAE als los zand aan mekaar”: onze analist Nathan Van Hooydonck blikt vooruit naar Strade Bianche

Wekelijks blikt Nathan Van Hooydonck voor het Nieuwsblad vooruit naar de topwedstrijd van het weekend. Dit keer de Strade Bianche: “Tenzij het echt niet anders kan, door pech bijvoorbeeld, gaan ze bij UAE nooit een andere kaart dan Pogacar durven trekken.”

Without Wva or Vingegaard Visma hangs together like loose sand...

Will they go all-in to protect McNulty's yellow jersey again?

It’s Almeida’s time to shine.

Nope, McNulty has stated that Almeida is their leader.

Not sure if that amounts to anything.

 

[Froome]

He will shine again being a better version of louis meintjes. Top 5 would be a great result for almeida, i don't believe he can beat the best riders in this race.

Good position they're in both Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico. But going to be hard to win.. Don't really see it happening!

He didn't look the slightest amused on the podium. I wondered if it was the rain or not having finished first that bothered him. 🤣

When/where did he state that?

 

[joseph89]

Almeida shouldn't have to share leadership with these wannabes. Keep an eye on Finn Fisher-Black he's already showing the tell tale signs of a rider about to go rogue.

Nah, Soler still remembers being chased down in Barcelona by Almeida in the fight for 3rd, he will coup him!

Soler will most likely police a move including bora & SOQ riders and hope to capitalise that way where as Finn will go all out rogue, he's in a contract year and there's too many cooks in the kitchen at UAE.

Based on current standings and riders active here, who do you think might finish in front of him? I can definitely see him finish on the podium, but no clue what his form is at the moment.

 

[Elos Anjos]

He was sick, that's why he missed Volta ao Algarve and Clássica da Figueira races, but based in past performances - namely Volta a Cataluña - with the current rankings and with no TT left, Almeida can win this.

He was dropped at will there. He needs to step up to defend this lead.

Wasn't Almeida left with bread crumbs mostly because of the TT?

There was no TT in Catalunya last year.

Winning is out of question with guys like Roglic and Evenepoel there. Just some delusional nationalistic guys think they can win against them in normal conditions.


I think he can do top 5. The best possibility for him is doing podium behind evenepoel and Roglic.

We'll know more about his form today. He's not that great with changing of the pace so I can see him lose a bit of time already near the finish.

Yeah, and if rains today, it will be even worse for him.
