UAE Team Emirates is gearing up for the prestigious Liege-Bastogne-Liege race, with star rider Tadej Pogaĉar leading the charge for victory. The team, coming off a successful start to the 2024 season, is hungry for more monument success in Belgium.

Known as ‘La Doyenne’, Liege-Bastogne-Liege is the oldest monument on the calendar and is notorious for its challenging hills and intense racing. Pogaĉar, who has already tasted podium success in 2020 and claimed victory in 2021, is no stranger to the brutal one-day races that define professional cycling.

Supported by a strong team lineup including Marc Hirschi and Diego Ulissi, Pogaĉar is ready to take on the tough competition, including world champion Mathieu van der Poel and Tom Pidcock of INEOS Grenadiers.

The race will cover 259 kilometers of grueling terrain, with steep climbs and fast descents testing the riders’ skills and endurance. Pogaĉar, known for his aggressive climbing style, will be looking to make a decisive move on the challenging Cote de la Roudoute before sprinting to the finish line.

With a stellar season so far, UAE Team Emirates is aiming to solidify their place in cycling history with another Monument victory. Pogaĉar’s determination and the team’s unity and resilience will be key factors in their quest for success at Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exhilarating and dramatic race in Belgium.
