Women's Cycling: Longo Borghini Switches to UAE Team ADQ, Aiming for Grand Tour Success
Elisa Longo Borghini, a star in the world of women's cycling, has announced her move to UAE Team ADQ for the 2024 season. This switch is a major shake-up for the cycling world, with Longo Borghini leaving Trek-Segafredo after four seasons. The move signals a new chapter in her career, with the Italian rider aiming for Grand Tour success with her new team.
Longo Borghini is known for her versatility, excelling in both road races and time trials. She's secured impressive victories, including the 2022 Italian National Road Race Championship, 2021 Strade Bianche, and a stage win at the 2023 Giro d'Italia Donne. With her talents and a strong team behind her, UAE Team ADQ hopes to see her shine on the biggest stage of all - the Grand Tours.
UAE Team ADQ, a rising force in women's cycling, has been making significant strides in recent years. This move signifies a clear intention to become a top team. By securing the signature of a rider like Longo Borghini, they are making a statement.
This transition is a win-win for both parties. Longo Borghini gains access to a team with strong support, a strategic vision, and a commitment to women's cycling. UAE Team ADQ, on the other hand, gets a proven champion, a charismatic figurehead, and a rider capable of bringing them valuable experience and leadership.
The cycling world is eagerly awaiting the 2024 season to see how this partnership unfolds. With Longo Borghini's grit and the team's ambition, we can expect to witness some thrilling races and potentially see her conquer a Grand Tour in the coming years.
