ABU DHABI/ROME, 10th October, 2025 (WAM) -- UAE Team Emirates-XRG have secured their third consecutive UCI World No. 1 title, following an exceptional season that has seen the team claim 91 victories ahead of their final race of the year.

Leading the charge once more is Tadej Pogaar, a rider whose consistency and aggressive riding style continues to set new standards. A fifth Il Lombardia victory would mark his 19th win of the year, and the team's 92nd, capping another exceptional season for UAE Team Emirates-XRG.

The team will compete in the 199th edition of Il Lombardia on Saturday, covering 241 km from Como to Bergamo with over 4,400 metres of climbing.
