UAE Team Emirates announced today that they are working with current women\u2019s cycling team Al\u00e8 BTC Ljubljana to add a women\u2019s team to their successful men\u2019s team for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recent inaugural Paris-Roubaix Femmes boosted the profile of women\u2019s cycling and the return of the women\u2019s Tour de France in the summer of 2022 is expected to further develop the sport and increase the popularity and visibility of women\u2019s cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a new and modern era of inclusivity for the sport, the Emirati squad will emulate fellow World Tour teams Trek-Segafredo, Jumbo-Visma and Movistar in having a successful women\u2019s team alongside their men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding the possible entry of UAE Team Emirates into the world of women\u2019s cycling, Team Principal Mauro Gianetti explained, “We are pleased to announce that we are working to create a female team to compete on the world stage as part of the UAE ambition to develop cycling, in support of a global project that started back in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Together with the Al\u00e8 BTC Ljubljana Team, we have found the right opportunity and the availability we were looking for and, in collaboration with the UCI, we are preparing all the necessary documents for the completion of the acquisition of the World Tour license starting 1st January 2022. In the coming weeks we will have the definitive framework and we will be ready to present the project.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
