As one of the highest-rated young riders in pro cycling, 19-year-old New Zealander Finn Fisher-Black has had the pick of WorldTour teams to choose from as he launches his professional career and opted in July for UAE Team Emirates.

As an aspiring stage racer, the choice to sign up for the two-time Tour de France champions looked like an easy one, though complicated by the fact that he was already part of the setup at the other prominent stage racing squad of the moment, Jumbo-Visma.
