Marc Soler renews as Pablo Torres steps-up with UAE Team Emirates

UAE Team Emirates have renewed terms with Marc Soler who put pen to paper on a new deal to keep him at the Emirati outfit.

 
Soler, who has just finished off a successful Vuelta España, will continue to wear the colours of the UAE for at least another three years, penning a deal until the end of 2027. The versatile climber has been in the team since 2022 and has been part of multiple team successes both as a domestique and when seeking his own results.

Soler: “I feel very happy to be able to continue with UAE Team Emirates and thankful for the trust they have shown in me. In this team I find a good balance between personal ambitions and helping my teammates depending on the race, and it’s a mix I am enjoying a lot. The team is experiencing a really good period at the moment and it feels like a family environment at each race. I want to stay at the highest level for years to come and help it to win many races along the way.”

Joining the Spanish armada at UAE will be another young Spanish talent as Pablo Torres makes the step into the professional ranks for 2025. The talented 18 year old from Madrid moves up to the World Tour squad having spent the 2024 season racing with the UAE Gen Z development team. The youngster achieved great success in his first year as an under-23, most notably taking 2nd place overall at the Giro D’Italia Next Gen and winning the queen stage and finishing 2nd overall at the Tour de l’Avenir.

Torres: “For me it’s a dream to become part of the UAE Team Emirates World Tour team. I am very excited and eager to continue growing surrounded by the same people, in the best team in the world and alongside the best professionals. The treatment I have received this year has been spectacular both from the staff and from riders and I am delighted to be able to be part of the team until 2030. I have worked hard to be able to make this big step, but this has only just begun and there is still a lot of work to do to be able to give the best of myself to the team. I’m very thankful and grateful for the support and trust they have placed in me from day one.”

 
Mauro Gianetti (Team Principal & CEO) : “We remain a team dedicated to developing the talents of the future and we believe that Pablo Torres is a rider with the qualities to make the step-up to the World Tour. He is a young rider and the focus will be on his development both as a rider and as a person, which is very important. Soler is a rider with a lot of experience and has been a key figure in the past couple of years. We feel that Marc can continue to show us his high level.”
