Filippo Baroncini announced for UAE Team Emirates

UAE Team Emirates continue to strengthen their squad for the future with the signing of Filippo Baroncini who will join the team starting from 2024 for two seasons.

The 22-year old from Massa Lombarda comes across from Lidl-Trek having first burst onto the scene after winning the Under 23 World Road Race Championship title back in 2021.

Baroncini : “UAE Team Emirates has always been a team that I have observed with a lot of admiration. From the outside they always seem really determined and united so to be part of that group is something that always interested me.

I would like to thank Matxin and Mauro for the strong interest and desire they had in me, since I was under 23.

UAE are the first team in the world in the UCI ranking and to be so it requires having a winning mentality and big ambitions and characteristics that reflect me as a rider, so I will do my best to reciprocate their trust and make the step in my career I am looking for.”

Mauro Gianetti (Team Principal & CEO) : “Baroncini has shown a steady progression over the past years and as a former world champion we can see immediately the kind of talent he has. We hope he can continue to show more of what he has to offer with us over the coming seasons.”
