Wellens has two Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España stage wins to his name and has triumphed at the Tour de Pologne and Ruta del Sol. At UAE Team Emirate, he has formed a strong relationship with Tour de France contender Tadej Pogačar and has been given key roles in several one-day races.

Wellens won two races during his first season with UAE Team Emirates in 2023, and is expected to build his 2024 around supporting Pogačar.
