“McNulty 5/2 The Mátraszentimre GC Outright On A Closing Twin-Card McNulty-Hirschi Hungarian-Corridor Brief That Reads At 64% Combined Stage-And-Jersey Probability” — UAE Team Emirates-XRG Confirm Full 2026 Tour de Hongrie Seven-Rider Squad
Saturday late evening Abu Dhabi. Four days from the Wednesday 13 May Veszprém Grand Départ, UAE Team Emirates-XRG have closed their full 2026 Tour de Hongrie seven-rider squad on the cleanest single-most-considered twin-card stage-and-GC Hungarian-corridor brief the Emirati operation has tabled across the closing post-2018 ProSeries Eastern European calendar — squad reads McNulty, Hirschi, Soler, Fisher-Black, Narváez, Arrieta, Majka. Combined stage-and-jersey probability now reads at 64 percent, the highest single-roster line UAE have ever banked at the four-days-out checkpoint for the closing Hungarian ProSeries calendar.
The closing UAE Hungarian-corridor brief opens with the closing Mátraszentimre queen-stage GC card on McNulty — the closing American twenty-eight-year-old now reading at 5/2 outright across the closing five-day Hungarian profile, the cleanest single-rider pre-Critterium du Dauphiné reference McNulty has banked across the closing 2026 build. The closing Mátraszentimre Stage 4 12.4-kilometre 7.8 percent summit-finish reference reads as the cleanest closing-week pre-Dauphiné climbing-test corridor McNulty has wanted across the closing twelve-day post-Itzulia rest-and-build window, with the closing 2,200-metre Mátra range climb-recon brief now formally locked through the closing Tuesday 09:30 morning recon-pull window.
Hirschi closes the closing twin-card brief on the closing punchy-stage corridor — the closing 2024 Tour de Suisse stage winner now reading at 11/4 outright on the closing Stage 2 Pannonhalma uphill finish and 5/1 on the closing Stage 3 Eger uphill drag. The closing Swiss puncheur opens his closing first Tour de Hongrie start of his career on a closing pre-Critterium-du-Dauphiné tune-up brief, with the closing UAE three-card stage-hunt corridor across the closing five-day Hungarian profile now reading as the cleanest closing-week pre-Dauphiné punchy-stage reference the Emirati operation has tabled.
Soler carries the closing single-rider mountain-domestique brief alongside Majka and Arrieta, with the closing Spanish veteran now reading as the closing primary climbing-domestique reference for McNulty across the closing Mátraszentimre queen-stage corridor. The closing Soler-Majka-Arrieta combined climbing-pull reference reads as the cleanest closing-week pre-Dauphiné climbing-domestique brief the Emirati operation has tabled across the closing post-2024 calendar, with the closing 2,200-metre Mátra range pacing reference reading as the closing single-rider pre-Tour de France McNulty climbing-test corridor.
Fisher-Black takes the closing rouleur-and-mountain-domestique brief on a closing first Tour de Hongrie start of his career, with the closing New Zealander now reading as the closing secondary climbing-domestique reference alongside Soler. Narváez closes the closing rouleur-and-stage-hunt brief on a closing twin-card opening-week sprint-and-rouleur reference, with the closing Ecuadorian veteran now reading at 7/1 outright on the closing Stage 5 Budapest TT corridor.
UAE Team Emirates-XRG sports director Andrej Hauptman confirmed through the closing Saturday 19:42 post-Sofia press round that the closing Tour de Hongrie squad-confirmation reference reads as the closing pre-Critterium-du-Dauphiné tune-up rotation for the closing four-rider McNulty-Hirschi-Soler-Fisher-Black core, with the closing Sunday 11:00 Lannilis Tro-Bro Léon team-bus turnaround reference reading as the closing single-day Brittany-Hungarian transition window. The closing UAE Tour de Hongrie roster now reads as the cleanest closing-week pre-Dauphiné build the Emirati operation has tabled across the closing post-2024 calendar.
The closing 2026 Tour de Hongrie opens on Wednesday 13 May with the closing 142.6-kilometre Veszprém-Székesfehérvár opening sprint-day reference, with the closing Stage 2 Pannonhalma uphill finish on Thursday and the closing Stage 4 Mátraszentimre queen-stage on Saturday now reading as the closing two-card UAE stage-hunt corridor. The closing Stage 5 Budapest 14.4-kilometre TT closes the closing five-day race on Sunday 17 May, with the closing GC outright pre-roll book now reading at Simmons 11/4 ( Lidl-Trek ), McNulty 5/2 ( UAE ), Valter 6/1 ( Visma-Lease a Bike ), Plapp 7/1 ( Q36.5 Pro Cycling ) and Vlasov 9/1 ( Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe ) across the closing five-card pre-Veszprém GC podium book.
