Baroncini was in a coma for several weeks. He was unable to train for months.

The mistake was taking him to such a risky race when he was just returning to competition. In Catalunya he was barely able to finish the stages.
How could they even think of taking him to this race?
He did 15 racedays this season and was fine. One of the strongest in Vuelta Asturias and Frankfurt . Sh*t happens, nothing suggests he was not ready.

Is it just me or do they race an ungodly amount of races?
Could also be confirmation bias because they just racked up alot of wins last season.

UAE is the gold standard. And not just because they have Pogacar or Del Toro. What makes the team special is their riding style. Almost every rider on the team is capable of winning on their own. You don’t see that anywhere else. That’s how they end up with so many victories. But almost everyone on the team also gets their chance. Even in races where the general classification is on the line, riders are allowed to go for their own chances. In any group where UAE is present, they’re practically already among the favorites. That’s what sets the team apart from others. And because everyone has taken their chance, they work even harder for the captain in other races.

The UAE always gives all its riders a chance to win something throughout the season. It's only when Pogacar is racing that there's a clear leader.

The names mentioned above don't really make sense from the UAE's perspective. Ramírez is 100% guaranteed a promotion to the WT team next year. If I were the UAE boss, I’d be looking for riders like Denz or Affini & Frigo or De Plus.

Now all they need is Denz or Affini.
