The racing team financed by the United Arab Emirates achieved its two most recent triumphs with the young Slovenian Tadej Pogacar at the Tour de France, as well as Monuments of cycling.
Team UAE has also been the home of Marc Hirschi since 2021 and joining him this season, Joel Suter, who attracted attention at the TdS last year in the jersey of the Swiss National team.
The steep climbs of the first stages of this year’s Tour de Suisse should suit Hirschi.
The team has one of the fastest sprinters of this year’s Giro in Fernando Gaviria.
Another rider to watch is Marc Soler who won a stage on his way to 4th place at this year’s Tour de Romandie.
