Rafal Majka renews with UAE Team Emirates

Polish veteran pens 1 year deal

UAE Team Emirates will count on the experience and strength of one of the best climbers in the pro peloton with Rafal Majka extending his current deal until the end of 2025.

 

Majka, 35, first joined the Emirati squad in 2021 and has clocked up four personal victories as well as being a key lieutenant for many of the team’s biggest successes such as overall victories in the Giro D’Italia and in multiple editions of the Tour de France.

 

Majka : “I’m very pleased to be staying here at UAE for next season. I feel very at home in this team and excited for what we can achieve over the next year. I think I still have a lot to give to the team and have found a role which I am enjoying a lot. “

 

Mauro Gianetti (Team Principal & CEO) : “We are happy to have Rafal with us again for 2025. It’s a team which has a lot of young talents but also a rider like Rafal with his experience and qualities can have an important part to play. Majka is an example of a rider who has grown into his role in the team and is still one of the best climbers in the world on his day.”
