UAE Team Emirates unveiled its 2025 racing colors and new sponsors at the team's media day in Spain, but at least for now, Tadej Pogachar did not ride a Colnago Y1Rs aero bike.

Cyclingnews captured the moment Pogachar departed for UAE Team Emirates training, where he was seen riding a white World Champion V4Rs bike.

According to Cyclingnews, Colnago recently supplied a large quantity of Y1Rs aero frames to UAE Team Emirates, but the team has yet to assemble the bikes and fit riders to the bikes.

Pogachar plans to use the Colnago Y1Rs aero bikes for winter and certain races in 2025. Juan Sebastián Morano was seen with the bike after helping Colnago develop it in recent months.

Pogachar wore a rainbow jersey and black shorts for a short ride at a training camp in Spain. His teammates wore the new UAE Team Emirates jerseys for 2025, with black sleeves, black body parts, and the new sponsor XRG on the chest under the UAE and Emirates logos XRG is also on Pogachar's rainbow jersey.

As Cycling News revealed in November, new UCI rules require teams to adjust their racing jersey designs to avoid clashing with the colors of the four Grand Tour leader jerseys. The black sleeves and red Emirates logo would help avoid confusion with the white jerseys of the best young riders.

New riders for 2025, like Honatan Narvaez and Florian Vermeersch, rode Colnago bikes but wore the kit of Ineos Grenadiers and Lot Dostny for 2024.

XRG is the recently launched international investment arm of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company; XRG is valued at $80 billion and will focus on natural gas, chemicals, and low-carbon energy solutions.

Italian brand Pissei manufactures racewear for UAE Team Emirates and will officially unveil its 2025 design on Thursday.
