Overview
- UAE Team Emirates has named an eight-rider squad for the 2025 Vuelta a España led by co-captains Juan Ayuso and Joao Almeida.
- Four-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar will skip the race to rest and prepare for the Canadian classics and the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda.
- Rising talent Isaac del Toro was left off the roster under the team's rule limiting riders under 25 to one Grand Tour per season.
- Support riders Ivo Oliveira, Domen Novak, Mikkel Bjerg, Jay Vine, Marc Soler and Felix Großschartner complete the lineup focused on general classification.
- Isaac del Toro will instead target shorter late-season races such as the Clásica de San Sebastián and the Vuelta a Burgos to build toward future Grand Tours.
