Novak catches up with Pogacar

UAE Team Emirates continues its work to strengthen its roster by signing Domen Novak starting in 2023.

The 27-year-old native of Dolenja Vas joins other riders who will wear the Emirates team’s jersey from next season, namely Time Wellens and Felix Grossschartner.

Novak, a former Slovenian champion, stood on the podium at the Tour of Slovenia 2022 along with compatriot Tadej Pogacar and Rafal Majka, proving his climbing skills.

“Racing in the UAE Team Emirates together with a champion like Tadej Pogacar and other top athletes has been a dream of mine and, now that it is coming true, I am honored and grateful for the trust that the Emirates formation has chosen to place in me. I can’t wait to start this new experience,” Novak said.
