Allan Peiper was expected to find his way back to a role with UAE Team Emirates in 2023, with the team having announced in January that they had created the part-time role of race analyst after he had to walk away for health reasons in 2022. However, the former sports director, who played a crucial role during both Tadej Pogačar’s Tour de France victories, and team could not find a pathway to facilitate the return.
“I thank Mauro and UAE for trying to re-incorporate me into the squad, but my vision of collaboration was different from those of the team,” said Peiper in a team statement. “I wish the team all the best going forward.”
