United Arab Emirates, September 28, 2020: From September 29th till October 3rd, UAE Team Emirates return to racing on the roads of Belgium and Holland for their next World Tour fixture – the BinckBank Tour. The race will be run over five stages, including a time trial, on roads often graced by the spring classics with the final day finishing in Louvain La Neuve. After being close to winning a stage here last year, our young Belgian talent, Jasper Philipsen will be eager to challenge and build on the momentum generated by his teammates after a very successful start to the season for the team. Sports directors Andrej Hauptman (Slo) and Allan Peiper (Aus) will manage seven riders: – Tom Bohli (Sui) – Sven Erik Bystrøm (Nor) – Alessandro Covi (Ita) – Ivo Oliveira (Por) – Rui Oliveira (Por) – Jasper Philipsen (Bel) – Aleksandr Riabushenko (Bel) Jasper Philipsen: "Last year I also rode BinckBank and came close to winning a stage. It's 5 days of hard racing and from looking at the parcours there are a few days that suit me well. This year I hope to go one step further and go for a stage win. We have a good team for the week so I'm looking forward to it and really motivated to race on home roads here in Belgium”.
