UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Pogacar seeks to continue perfect start at Milano-Sanremo

Tadej Pogacar returns to lead UAE Team Emirates-XRG into the first Monument of the 2025 season, fresh off his Strade Bianche heroics. With momentum on their side and a star-studded line-up, the team is determined to kick off the classics campaign in style with a landmark victory in Italy.

Known as La Classicissima di Primavera, Milano-Sanremo is one of the longest and most unpredictable races on the calendar. At 289km, the sheer distance alone makes it a prolonged challenge, but it’s the explosive finale over the Cipressa and Poggio that truly separates the contenders from the rest. It's a race that offers a rare battleground where sprinters, puncheurs, and attackers all have an opportunity for success.

Pogacar has developed a love-hate relationship with the Milan-San Remo race over the years.

For Pogacar, Milano-Sanremo remains one of the few Monuments to elude him - but is a challenge he truly relishes.

The Slovenian has thrilled fans in recent years with his relentless attacks in pursuit of victory, and in 2025, he lines up once again with a strong squad focused on improving his chances of winning. Tim Wellens arrives in stellar form, while one-day specialist Jhonatan Narvaez brings the firepower to make an impact in the decisive moments.
