UAE Team Emirates takes second stage win, seals overall at Tour of Slovenia

ABU DHABI, 20th June, 2022 (WAM) — The domination of the duo Pogačar-Majka, and in general of the entire UAE Team Emirates, in the Tour of Slovenia 2022 continued until the end.

The two-time winner of the Tour de France won in the final stage, from Vrhnika to Novo Mesto of 155.7 km, ahead of Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida) in a two-up sprint, with Rafal Majka 3rd.

The trio forced an advantage over the other riders just under 9km to go when Pogačar attacked on the ascent of Trska Gora.

The Slovenian talent of UAE Team Emirates thus conquered his second stage success, sealing the victory in the best possible way in the general classification (repeating the triumph of the 2021 edition) and in the points classification.

The Emirati team also celebrates with Majka taking second place in the general classification, two stage victories and success in the climbers’ classification. This brings the win tally of the team to 30 victories.

Commenting on the win, Pogačar said, “Today’s goal was to defend the leader’s jersey. Uphill the pace went up a lot, there was some gaps and so I tried to counterattack and reach the brow of the hill as fast as possible.

“There were three of us to lead the race, downhill we tried not to take too many risks and get to the sprint. In the sprint I did my best to repay the whole team with success for the great work done during the whole week.”

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team. At the Lucas Moripe Stadium, they will host Chippa United to open the 2022–23 DStv Premiership season on August 7 at 17:30.
