After closing out his fourth season as the number one rider in the world, Tadej Pogačar has extended his contract with UAE Team Emirates – which already went through 2027 – for another three years through 2030.
“I am extremely proud to be extending my time here at UAE Team Emirates. This team has been my home now for the last five years and I truly can’t imagine myself anywhere else,” Pogačar stated in the team’s press release.
“The best moments of my career have come at UAE Team Emirates and that is a testament to all of the staff, management, teammates, and partners who all allow me to perform at the highest level. I’m really excited for the future. This team gives me the best chance at fighting for wins and that is exactly what I aim to do.”
UAE Team Emirates have numerous riders under contracts well beyond the usual two years. Isaac Del Toro is under contract through 2029, while Jan Christen and Juan Ayuso signed through 2028. The team also have Mikkel Bjerg, Brandon McNulty, Antonio Morgado, Domen Novak, Marc Soler and Jay Vine with deals ending in 2027.
The team’s CEO Mauro Gianetti was particularly pleased to earn the trust of the top rider in the world. “It’s an incredible feeling to be able to announce this contract extension for Tadej Pogacar, the leader of our team and the best cyclist in the world,” Gianetti said
