UAE Team Emirates’ Joe Dombrowski: Talks 2020!

Pez Cyclingnews, Edmond Hood, 6 April 2020

Joe Dombrowski has been a ‘name’ for the last 10 years, but an iliac artery problem delayed his tilt at the top. Since then the young man from Delaware, turned a corner in the Giro d’Italia and changed team to UAE Emirates. Ed Hood caught up with him self-isolating in the US.



I'm still trying to figure out how far I can go

Earlier this year Joe Dombrowski made the decision to extend his stay at the Cannondale-Drapac team for a further two years – testament to the fact that, after a shaky start to his professional career at Team Sky, the young American has found his feet and is making progress.



After a promising Giro d’Italia, Joe Dombrowski’s stock is on the rise. Is a move in store?

On the morning of the first road stage of the Giro d’Italia, in Arnhem, Netherlands, CyclingTips asked American Joe Dombrowski which stage he thought might be an opportunity for him to shine.

After suffering an injury setback in 2014, Joe Dombrowski got back on track last year as he builds on his potential as a future Grand Tour contender. The former Baby Giro winner claimed his first professional general classification victory at the Tour of Utah and rode his first Grand Tour at the Vuelta a España.



I’m looking forward to the Vuelta

Among the riders making their debut in the 70th edition of the Vuelta a España – the season’s third and final Grand Tour – there will be also Joe Dombrowski, who comes here after taking a breakthrough win at the Tour of Utah, where he put years of suffering behind and enjoyed his finest moment since turning pro. The 24-year-old will be one of the many Cannondale-Garmin cyclists hoping to shine and thus get a stage win, and although this is going to be his maiden three-week race and he starts as an outsider, Dombrowski shouldn’t be overlooked, as he can turn into one of the Vuelta’s revelations.

Joe Dombrowski was one of the brightest stars in 2012, he was snapped-up by the all-powerful Sky team, but things didn’t work out. Three years on and iliac artery surgery and the man from Virginia is back on track for success. Ed Hood caught up with Dombrowski in his French home in Nice, days after his win in the Tour of Utah.

The young American is restored to full health, has a new team and top five finishes at the Tour of California and the US championships. La Vuelta and possible leadership await Joe Dombrowski



Cannondale-Garmin, the best option!

CyclingQuotes, Renaud Breban, 10 December 2014

Having ridden impressively in his first two years at the Continental level, Joe Dombrowski joined Team Sky. But health issues prevented him from performing in line with such expectations. Interviewed by CyclingQuotes, he said that his left leg feels just "as strong as the right now" and "it gives me a lot of confidence heading into 2015". For the next season, he will ride for Cannondale-Garmin Sharp after two seasons with Team Sky.



Moving from Sky to Cannondale

Joe gave VeloVeritas of his time to talk about his health issue, time at Sky and the future.



The plan is to start the Vuelta.

When I spoke with Joe Dombrowski, he was in the French Alps, at Isola 2000, where he was preparing for the Tour de Suisse, which starts today. A rider with a huge potential for the stage races, the young American isn’t bothered anymore by the knee problems that troubled him in the first months of the year and is confident his season will become better and better from now on. Then, if he will be injury-free and will reach a good level in August, Joe Dombrowski will start the Vuelta, where there’s a strong chance for him to be among the protagonists and show why everybody tipped him as a future Grand Tour winner since 2012, when he was first in the Girobio.



Biggest lesson I've learned in 2013? Perspective.

Sky know a good thing when they see one and snapped the skinny man from Virginia up – here’s what Joe had to say to VeloVeritas about his first season in the World Tour.



I want to ride a Grand Tour in 2014.

Joe Dombrowski is one of the most promising riders in the pro peloton, but before coming into road cycling, he started in mountain bike, thanks to some high school friends, who used to take him to the trails on the week-ends. He was hooked and soon began to dream of becoming a professional rider. With the help of Jeremiah Bishop, a good friend and training partner, Joe made some important steps in his career and in 2011 signed with Trek-Livestrong, the Continental team managed by Axel Merckx.

Sometimes a rider comes along and right away you can just tell he has what it takes. We first caught sight of Joe Dombrowski at the Valle d’Aosta stage race, in 2011. Aosta, l’Avenir, the Baby Giro and the U23 Worlds are where the pro talent scouts do their window shopping. At the Copenhagen Worlds in 2011 we caught up with him for an interview and our positive impression of this young man was nothing but endorsed. Last year he went back to Italy for the Baby Giro – and won it. He also took 12th on GC in the Tour of California, fourth in the Tour of Utah and 10th in the Tour of Colorado – and he only turned 21 in May of that year and we interviewed him again as a man on the way up. Dombrowski rode for Trek Livestrong during seasons 2010/11 with the squad becoming Trek Bontrager for season 2012 – but for 2013 made the leap to World Tour with current world number one ranked team, Sky. He’s already tasted victory as part of the successful Sky squad which won the TTT at the Giro del Trentino in April.

Having already shown he is one of the most exciting young American talents via his overall victory in the Baby Giro, as well as his fourth place on the Tour of California’s Mount Baldy stage as a 21 year old amateur, Joe Dombrowski is counting down the days until he first races as a pro rider.



For neo-pro Joe Dombrowski, ambition meets reality

Just one year ago, the precocious young American was racing the SRAM Tour of the Gila and attacking from under the radar at the Amgen Tour of California. He was sitting in lawn chairs in the shade after races with his Bontrager-Livestrong amigos. Two years ago, the 6-foot-1-inch, 141-pounder was a Cat. 4.

At the beginning of the 2011 racing season he was offered a spot on Bontrager-Livestrong and has remained at the team since.
