UAE Team Emirates XRG

year.

When you look at the ranking, it's very close between them and UAE Team Emirates.

But I have to be honest, I really think it's...

Yeah, FDJ was the best team this year.

It is UAE Tour, but maybe not with the gap I expected because Pogacar crashed out at Vuelta.

UAE Team Emirates.

You got number one.

Yes.

And the climbs weren't much in paper, but they destroyed the race.

And it was one of those days where Ineos, who were, I think, second on GC or something, decided to, you know, and fair play to them, they decided to sort of take it to Tim Wellens and UAE Team Emirates who were leading the race.

because it was the last chance it was the final stage to try and win the race so they put their entire team on the front going up this climb into this horrible windy sort of moorland and of course the inevitable happened they just completely destroyed themselves and then UAE who had a far stronger team just en masse the entire team went off the front with Ben Wiggins who kind of infiltrated

them it

And so we need the internal width to be less than 23 so that they're allowed to use a 25 mil tire, and that's why it's 22 and a half.

Because UAE Team Emirates sometimes wanna run a 25, and so that's what they ha- that's what they have to do.

Which I was kind of like, I guess that's a good answer.

[laughs] Like, I don't want a 22 and a half mil internal rim, uh, but if that's what some w- team staff at UAE Team Emirates said they need, uh, then that's what they have to do.

How often did, did they run the 6.7s at The Tour this year?

I re- There was a story about how they had 25 mil tires, but that was for the time trial-

A lot of the pros still like to run a 28.

And so ENVE was, were in this position of, well, it can run a 28 and be good with a 30 and a 32, or it can run a 28 and be good with a 25.

But even better, Whoop is actually planning to open its first international performance research and development facility outside Boston in Qatar later this year.

And if you were not aware of this, the company is actually the official performance wearable partner of UAE Team Emirates XRG and Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr Football Club.

And I'm sure you've also seen how, like, um, I think they're like a sponsor, a part of PSG.

Uh, he has a close relationship with Nasser Al-Khalifa.

Yes.

Can you go more into the specific services that you provide and the added value that they have?

Uh, see, uh, we, we provide mortgage, uh, services to, uh, not only, uh, you know, in-house clients, for everybody who wants to buy property in all the Emirates.

Yeah.

Yeah, especially with these, like, heavy loads that these guys are putting on it.

I don't think it was very smart of, of UAE Team Emirates to, to race.

So for context, he reported having knee pain, uh, from coming back from Montreal.

Um, and yeah, it's just not understandable why he was, like, asked to race Gran Piemonte.

Here we go.

Mark Donovan, and then we also have Got, Gotrat going from Decathlon to UAE Emirates.

I only realized about him in the Tour of Luxembourg, if I'm honest.

And then Mads Lenngbøl, who is such a hyped talent in Denmark, and he is going to Movistar.

It's like...

This would be like UAE Team Emirates losing Del Toro after his second in the Giro last year to Movistar men's.

Is it not? That's the equivalent rider of status she is.

She was second in it.
