While the hiatus from competition due to t🦄he coronavirus pandemic has cast doubt over the sustainability of several teams, UAE Team Emirates have made a number of notable commitments to their long-term future in recent weeks.
Last week, the team announced that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tadej Pogacar had extended his contr🐈act until the end of 2024, while they have also signed 17-year-old Spanish junior champion Juan A🐼yuso to a five-year contract.
Ulissi enjoyed a solid 2019 campaign, winning the Tour of Slovenia and placing second at the GP de Montréal and third at both La Flèche Wallonne and the Tour de P♛ologne. He began 2020 with second overall at the Tour Down Under and ninth at the UAE Tour before the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the season.
"I aꦬm very happy with this renewa♛l," Ulissi said. "For years now I have been part of this team which has become a second family for me.
"I am looking forward to continuing to work together on the UAE Team Emirates project in the next few years and as always giving 100 per cent. We are ♏working well together and the results of the last few years back this up. I want to say thank you to Mauro Gianetti and Matxꦑin for always believing in me and all the staff who allow me to always give my best."
Twice a world champion as a junior, the 30-year-ไold Ulissi has won six stages of the Giro d’Italia during a career that was interrupted by a nine-month suspension for a positive test for salbutamol on the 2014 rဣace. The puncheur also won Milano-Torino and the Giro dell’Emilia in 2013, and the GP de Montréal in 2017.
