  • UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022

    UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022

    This page focus on UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022. The prime purpose is to link each rider to his bike review as the season goes.

    Needless to present, the team that won the Tour de France 2020 and 2021 with super talented Tadej Pogacar.
    With more strong riders joining this year, the team will keep its winning streak.
    After hiring George Bennett, Primoz Roglic lieutenant till 2021, Jao Almeida, and Marc Soler, UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022 looks like the strongest team heading the Tour de France.

    Looking at the team selection for the Tour de France and La Vuelta, I think UAE will win both Grand Tours with this configuration.

    The team has also fine-tuned its sprinter’s team to support Fernando Gaviria with Pascal Ackermann and Felix Groß joining.

  • Lotto Soudal Team 2022

    Lotto Soudal Team 2022

    This page serves as a hub linking to each rider of Lotto Soudal Team 2022 as I review their bikes over the season.

    Lotto Soudal team 2022 is racing a crucial year as relegation is at stake and must be avoided to stay in the UCI World Tour.

    The Belgian team prioritize the Flandrian classics and sprint types of races. General classification podiums for the sprint jersey is potentially a target for Caleb Ewan. However it is clear the team strategy is not focussed on winning a Grand Tour.

    This of course does free up the opportunist team riders to hunt a stage win on transition stages.

    2022 is the last season of Philippe Gilbert. The 2012 World Champion will retire at the end of the season after 20 years as pro cyclist.

    It feels special to see him racing his last year. I am getting emotional here, let me stick to the topic.

    For his last season Philippe Gilbert is skipping Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix to focus on Milan-San Remo. The only Monument missing in his palmares.
