With UAE Team Emirates's expected Tour de France leader, Tadej Pogacar currently recovering from injury at altitude, Adam Yates is the man leading the team at the traditional Tour de France preparation race, the Critérium du Dauphiné.
âSince the win at Romandie I took a little bit of a break and after just been building up slowly again. Weâve been training really well as a group at altitude the past weeks and the atmosphere is really great in the team," Yates tells the UAE Team Emirates's official website. "The Dauphine now will be a good tester before the Tour de France. Iâll be aiming at picking up a stage win and hopefully having a crack at a GC result too.â
The 30-year-old Brit will be supported in his GC quest by a strong team that includes three-time under 23's time-trial world champion, Mikkel Bjerg, the Austrian Felix GroĂschartner, the experienced Vegard Stake Laengen, multiple Tour de France stage winner Rafal Majka, the Portuguese Ivo Oliveira and finally Matteo Trentin.

- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
