“We are pleased to announce that we are working to create the Gen Z team to compete as part of the UAE ambition to develop cycling, in support of a global project that started back in 2017.

We are committed to helping young riders on their path into the professional ranks and we are preparing to launch the team next year. The team will consist of predominantly u-20 riders (generation Z) to begin with and they will benefit from the best support structure possible with access to many of the resources available already in our professional team.

In the coming months we will have the definitive framework and we will be ready to present the project. ”
