The Portuguese rider has a palmares that includes three overall wins at the Tour de Suisse and one at the Abu Dhabi Tour, the 4 Jours de Dunkerque and the Vuelta a la Comunidad de Madrid, as well as three stage victories at the Tour de France.
Sutherland is one of the most experienced riders in the current peloton and will stay for his 17th season as a professional at the Emirati formation. The 36-year-old was part of the 2018 roster for the Tour de France and helped the team to achieve two stage victories: one with Dan Martin and one with Alexander Kristoff.
