Vuelta route set to test Pogačar as UAE warns it won’t be easy for anyone

UAE Team Emirates-XRG performance head Jeroen Swart says the Vuelta a España 2026 will be the toughest in years, with over 58,000 meters of elevation, meaning the race will be grueling even for Tadej Pogačar. The plan centers on keeping Pogačar mentally fresh (and peaking after the Tour) while navigating a brutal first week with high mountains; the UAE team aims to balance aggressive early GC moves with potential conservatism later to protect form for the World Championships. Domination is unlikely; the focus is on getting the job done and maximizing his chances wherever the route dictates.

Illness, mixed messages and the Tour's mountain finale for UAE Team Emirates-XRG

Cyclingnews reports a wave of illness and injuries in UAE Team Emirates-XRG (including Wellens with a sore throat, Yates with a stomach issue, McNulty and Vermeersch affected), with the team publicly downplaying it through inconsistent messaging. While Pogačar appears healthy and holds a multi-minute lead, the absence of some teammates and new vulnerability could loosen UAE’s grip on the race during the final two mountain stages—culminating in Alpe d’Huez—shaping a more open GC battle even if the yellow jersey champion seems likely to come from the UAE camp.

Pogačar defends UAE camp as Tour de France heads toward Alpe d’Huez

Tadej Pogačar played down talk of a collapsing UAE Team Emirates-XRG as illness hit Tour de France riders, with teammates Brandon McNulty and Tim Wellens suffering throat issues on stage 18 to Orcières-Merlette after Adam Yates had stomach problems on stage 17. McNulty abandoned stage 18 and Wellens just made the time cut, but Pogačar said the third week brings strain for all teams and expressed optimism that Adam is improving and UAE can push on toward the Alpe d’Huez days to come.

AI and Ultra-Durable Training: Pogacar's Team Unpacks the Road to a Fifth Tour de France

In the second part of Cyclingnews’ exclusive interview, UAE Team Emirates-XRG head of performance Jeroen Swart explains how Pogacar is sharpening his edge for a fifth Tour de France: he uses endurance-focused torque work to boost durability, optimizes fueling with higher carbohydrate intake and lactate utilization, emphasizes zone 2 metabolic training, and relies on a sophisticated AI-driven data-integration platform that merges multiple data streams into month-long reports that guide training with concrete actions—an approach Swart calls a game-changer for the team’s performance.

Vingegaard’s Blockhaus climb: a tactical masterclass that left UAE torn

Matxin highlighted the clever handling by Visma‑Lease a Bike and stressed the Giro remains wide open after teammate injuries from stage crashes, with Gall’s strong challenge noted but the GC battle far from settled ahead of the rest day.

Giro Stage 2 Crash Forces UAE Team Emirates-XRG to regroup

Stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia in Bulgaria ended in chaos after a mass crash that brought down more than a dozen riders, including five UAE Team Emirates-XRG riders (Jay Vine, Marc Soler, Antonio Morgado, Jhonatan Narváez, and GC hopeful Adam Yates). Vine and Soler abandoned the race; Yates finished with a 13:46 time loss and a bloodied face, while Morgado and Narváez also crashed. The peloton was briefly neutralised to tend to the injuries. UAE DS Fabio Baldato said the team’s priority is recovery and regrouping for the forthcoming stages.
