Tadej PogaÄar, leading UAE Team Emirates-XRG, aims for his ninth Monument win at Liège-Bastogne-Liège this weekend, spotlighting it as the highlight of his Classics campaign. After securing victories in several key races, including the UAE Tour and Tour of Flanders in 2025, he faces stiff competition from rival Remco Evenepoel. UAE team manager Mauro Gianetti advises PogaÄar to pace himself and manage his race strategy, underscoring the importance of focusing on performance rather than over-exerting during races like Flèche Wallonne before Liège.
"I've enjoyed this Classics campaign a lot so far. I came into this period with a lot of goals and ambitions and there are still two left, with the biggest of them next Sunday."
"The most suited race for me is probably Liège so I'm really looking forward to it in particular, but every race is important."
