As of Stage 4 of the Tour de France, the team has already racked up a staggering <strong>56 victories<\/strong> this season, solidifying their place as the sport\u2019s most commanding force. From Grand Tour stages to spring classics, time trials to summit finishes, UAE is delivering a clinic in how to control modern pro cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are we witnessing the birth of a new dynasty, reminiscent of <strong>Team Sky\u2019s stranglehold in the 2010s<\/strong>? Let\u2019s break down their 2025 campaign, the tactics that keep them at the front, and how they crushed Stage 4 to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Season of Relentless Wins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UAE Team Emirates has been practically unstoppable in 2025. Their tally of <strong>56 victories before the Tour\u2019s first week is out<\/strong> puts them well ahead of any other team on the WorldTour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who\u2019s Delivering the Results?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not just Poga\u010dar doing the heavy lifting. UAE boasts a stacked roster delivering across all terrains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/strong> \u2014 12 wins (including Li\u00e8ge\u2013Bastogne\u2013Li\u00e8ge, UAE Tour, and Tour de Suisse)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Juan Ayuso<\/strong> \u2014 6 wins (including Itzulia Basque Country and Volta a Catalunya GC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adam Yates<\/strong> \u2014 5 wins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tim Wellens<\/strong> \u2014 3 wins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marc Hirschi<\/strong> \u2014 4 wins (including Brabantse Pijl and Tour de Romandie stage)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jo\u00e3o Almeida<\/strong> \u2014 3 wins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sprint train<\/strong> led by <strong>Pascal Ackermann<\/strong> et <strong>Sebasti\u00e1n Molano<\/strong> adding crucial victories in one-day races and flat stage finishes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a collective effort powered by depth, versatility, and ruthless execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are We Witnessing a New Team Sky?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comparisons are unavoidable. During <strong>Team Sky\u2019s peak years (2012\u20132018)<\/strong>, they controlled the peloton with relentless pace-setting, squad depth, and data-driven precision. UAE Team Emirates is now doing something strikingly similar \u2014 but with a touch more flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Team Sky favored defensive control and time trial dominance, <strong>UAE mixes aggressive racing with calculated control<\/strong>. Their ability to animate races while still protecting their GC ambitions is reshaping how modern teams manage Grand Tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stage 4 \u2014 A Tactical Masterclass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stage 4 of the <strong>2025 Tour de France<\/strong> was a textbook example of UAE\u2019s control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How They Controlled the Peloton<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From kilometer zero:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rafa\u0142 Majka, Adam Yates, and Juan Ayuso<\/strong> took turns policing the breakaway attempts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the day\u2019s move was established, UAE riders sat on the front to regulate the gap, never allowing it to exceed 3 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the final categorized climb, <strong>Tim Wellens<\/strong> et <strong>Marc Soler<\/strong> ramped up the tempo, softening up rivals and neutralizing attacks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the last 20km, the team formed a bulletproof protective bubble around Poga\u010dar, keeping him out of trouble ahead of the sprint finale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Result:<\/strong> Poga\u010dar stayed safe, extended his lead on several GC rivals who got caught in splits, and the team sent a message \u2014 this Tour runs through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Formula Behind the Domination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes UAE so effective?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Squad Depth:<\/strong> Every rider is a leader or top-tier domestique in their own right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Race Control:<\/strong> They dictate tempo and neutralize threats early.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatility:<\/strong> From mountain raids to sprint trains, they cover all scenarios.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poga\u010dar Factor:<\/strong> Having the sport\u2019s most versatile and aggressive leader forces rivals to play on UAE\u2019s terms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong>56 wins and counting in 2025<\/strong>, UAE Team Emirates isn\u2019t just the best team in the world \u2014 they\u2019re reshaping what dominance in pro cycling looks like. The comparisons to Team Sky\u2019s glory years are fair, but UAE\u2019s panache, depth, and versatility might just be setting a new, even higher standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question isn\u2019t whether they\u2019ll keep winning.
