Mynavi Tour de Kyushu 2026 – Team Announcement #3!

We are pleased to announce that the following team has been confirmed to compete in the Mynavi Tour de Kyushu 2026:

UAE TEAM EMIRATES XRG / UAE Team Emirates XRG (UEX – UAE)

The World’s Strongest Team, Home to the World’s Strongest Rider

As of July 7, 2026, UAE Team Emirates XRG sits atop the UCI World Team Rankings, making it both statistically and widely recognized as the world’s number one professional cycling team.

Leading the squad is Tadej Pogačar, widely regarded as one of the greatest cyclists in history. However, the riders assembled around him are all world-class talents who could serve as team leaders on nearly any other team.

The team’s outstanding 2026 season includes:

• Tadej Pogačar – Overall victories at Milano–Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, and the Tour de Romandie
  
• Jay Vine – Overall victory at the Tour Down Under
  
• Jan Christen – Overall victory at the AlUla Tour
  
• Isaac del Toro – Overall victories at the UAE Tour and Tirreno–Adriatico
  
• Adam Yates – Overall victory at the Gran Camiño
  
  

Renowned for its dominance in stage races, UAE Team Emirates XRG will bring its world-class racing to Mynavi Tour de Kyushu 2026.

As the race takes place toward the end of the season, the team is expected to field a roster centered on younger riders. However, with both its WorldTour squad and development team boasting a wealth of highly promising young talent, the team’s strength and depth remain exceptional.

With this announcement, 16 of the 18 teams competing in Mynavi Tour de Kyushu 2026 have now been confirmed. Please stay tuned for the announcement of the remaining two teams.
