Get ready for an incredible sports story that will leave you on the edge of your seat! UAE Emirates-XRG is on an unprecedented winning streak, and they're not slowing down anytime soon.
This weekend, the team added two more victories to their impressive tally, and that's not all - a UAE rider also claimed a separate world championship title! Tadej Pogacar, the star of UAE Emirates-XRG, led his team to their 93rd win on Saturday at Il Lombardia, an achievement that has sports enthusiasts buzzing.
But here's where it gets controversial... Pogacar and his U.S. teammate, Brandon McNulty, have shattered records and surpassed Columbia-HTC's all-time season record of 85 victories. McNulty first equaled and then broke that record in September, and the team has been on a winning spree ever since.
And this is the part most people miss: the team's winning streak shows no signs of stopping! With Pogacar's success at Il Lombardia and Adam Yates' victory on Sunday, the team's tally has skyrocketed to a staggering 94 wins. It's an incredible feat that has sports analysts and fans alike in awe.
With the season drawing to a close, UAE Emirates-XRG is set to compete in the Tour of Guangxi from October 14 to 19, offering them seven more chances to win - six stages and the overall title. They're also scheduled to ride the Giro del Vento and the Vento Classic, giving them even more opportunities to reach the magical 100-win milestone.
Nine more chances, six more wins needed. It's a tall order, but with this team's momentum, nothing is impossible. The odds might be unlikely, but in the world of sports, anything can happen, and this team has proven time and again that they're a force to be reckoned with.
If we look at the individual tallies of the riders, the picture becomes even more impressive. Pogacar has dominated the road races, winning at the world and European championships. Meanwhile, Florian Vermeersch took the world gravel championship on Sunday, adding to the team's overall success.
While these individual wins don't count towards the team record, the fact that 29 riders have collectively achieved 97 victories in one season is a testament to their incredible talent and teamwork.
So, will UAE Emirates-XRG reach the 100-win milestone? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: this team has already made sports history, and their journey is a testament to the power of determination and skill.
