Fernando Gaviria heads into his second season with UAE Team Emirates with a firm focus on the spring Classics. The Colombian has put a tough, injury-hit 2019 campaign behind him to start afresh in 2020, and the likes of Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix are high on his mind as he heads into his fifth pro season.

The Colombian will be reunited with ex-lead out man and close friend Maximiliano Richeze this year, and the pair will begin their seasons at the Vuelta a San Juan. After then heading to Colombia and the UAE, San Remo will be Gaviria's main early-season goal.
