All the pieces have been put in place and UAE Emirates XRG has announced today the programs of its leaders for the next season. The most striking news is the debut of Isaac Del Toro at the Tour de France alongside Tadej Pogačar and the choice of João Almeida, who will be the team captain at the Giro and Vuelta.

Almeida will open his season at the Valenciana, then racing Paris-Nice and Volta a Catalunya: "I'm happy to return to the Giro. I had discussed this with the team and now this opportunity is being offered to me". For him, only one one-day race, the Figueira Champions Classic on February 14th on home roads.

Isaac del Toro, the revelation of the season, will now make his debut at the Tour de France. "Racing the Tour with Tadej is a dream. I have always wanted to experience this: I can learn a lot from him. I won't always have to ride for Tadej, but I'll also have my freedom of action".
The Mexican will open his season with the UAE Tour, Strade Bianche, Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-San Remo, Itzulia Basque Country and the Dauphiné.
