Gibbons signs for UAE Team Emirates

UAE Team Emirates have put pen to paper to bring Ryan Gibbons to the Emirati squad on a two year contract.

The 26-year old from Johannesburg, South Africa is the current national road champion and won a gold medal in the time trial at the 2019 African Games. He stepped up to World Tour level in 2017 with NTT and has spent his entire career so far with the African team.

Ryan Gibbons : “I am thoroughly looking forward to joining UAE Team Emirates for the next two seasons. I feel honoured to be part of such an incredible setup, which has achieved so much success and proven to be one of the best teams in the peloton. I have no doubt that this transition is crucial for my personal growth and my future as a professional cyclist and I?m eagerly awaiting the start of this new journey.”
Mauro Gianetti (Team Principal) : “Ryan is a versatile rider who has shown himself to be very dynamic and a strong team player. He has progressed well over the past few seasons and we hope he can continue that progression in our team as we continue to build for the future.”
