The Tour de France is just around the corner. This is how UAE Team Emirates XRG prepares. It’s time for some good old-fashioned grinding in thin air.
Sierra Nevada isn’t just a training ground. It’s a crucible — thin air, long climbs, and no distractions. Here, UAE Team Emirates XRG sharpens the edge between victory and everything else. We joined the team—not only with our trusted drivetrain and brakes, but behind the camera, following some of the world’s best dial in the final details ahead of the season’s toughest tests.
Tadej Pogačar leads the charge. Focused but unfazed, he rides with the calm confidence of someone who’s been here before—and plans to stay at the top. João Almeida climbs with silent determination, methodical as ever. Nils Politt brings the power, his engine as explosive as it is reliable.
Each rider brings something different to the camp. But what connects them all—what connects their efforts—is the technology beneath them. DURA-ACE: engineered for elite road racing, built to convert every watt into forward motion, and refined in conditions just like these.
Sierra Nevada is more than a backdrop—it’s where big plans take shape. UAE Team Emirates XRG knows what’s coming: the long days, the sharp attacks, the final climbs where margins disappear. Training here isn’t about building fitness. It’s about preparing to make history.
And with DURA-ACE, they’re ready. Want to reach new heights in your road cycling experience? Explore the pinnacle of cycling engineering.
