They also have a successful development squad.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The arrival of Elisa Longo Borghini in 2025 was a particular turning point, one of the team&#8217;s biggest ever signings, which has not only netted them wins at races like the Giro d&#8217;Italia but also helped them attract bigger signings for 2026, including Mavi Garc\u00eda and Pauliena Rooijakkers.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This year, the team&#8217;s revelation has been Paula Blasi, who won Amstel Gold Race and La Vuelta Femenina, but despite their big budget, they are expected to lose the Spanish star who has garnered attention \u2013 and, we understand, large salary offers \u2013 from many rival teams.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">UAE Team L&#8217;IMAD have not confirmed their line-up for the Tour de France Femmes yet, but they are expected to select Longo Borghini, Blasi, and 2025 Tour revelations, fourth-placed Dominika W\u0142odarczyk, and two-time stage winner Ma\u00ebva Squiban amongst their seven-rider roster.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Support our unrivalled coverage of the Tour de France Femmes and women&#8217;s cycling by subscribing to Cyclingnews.

Together, we want to continue advancing the future of women&#8217;s cycling, both globally and within the United Arab Emirates. Our name is changing, but our vision, philosophy, and ambitions remain exactly the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As Moncada states, the name change is unlikely to mean all that much in practice, and indeed isn&#8217;t even as significant as a change in sponsor \u2013 it is just an Emirati sovereign wealth fund by another name. The money that bankrolls the team will come from largely the same sources.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-DxZ4JyPb9czDBdebxmSiz6\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-DxZ4JyPb9czDBdebxmSiz6 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Since becoming UAE Team ADQ in 2022, the team has been slowly growing in stature and success, largely thanks to what is understood to be one of the biggest budgets in the women&#8217;s peloton. They also have a successful development squad.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The arrival of Elisa Longo Borghini in 2025 was a particular turning point, one of the team&#8217;s biggest ever signings, which has not only netted them wins at races like the Giro d&#8217;Italia but also helped them attract bigger signings for 2026, including Mavi Garc\u00eda and Pauliena Rooijakkers.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This year, the team&#8217;s revelation has been Paula Blasi, who won Amstel Gold Race and La Vuelta Femenina, but despite their big budget, they are expected to lose the Spanish star who has garnered attention \u2013 and, we understand, large salary offers \u2013 from many rival teams.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">UAE Team L&#8217;IMAD have not confirmed their line-up for the Tour de France Femmes yet, but they are expected to select Longo Borghini, Blasi, and 2025 Tour revelations, fourth-placed Dominika W\u0142odarczyk, and two-time stage winner Ma\u00ebva Squiban amongst their seven-rider roster.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Support our unrivalled coverage of the Tour de France Femmes and women&#8217;s cycling by subscribing to Cyclingnews.

beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The Emirati squad has been UAE Team ADQ since the UAE set-up took over Al\u00e9 BTC Ljubljana&#8217;s licence for the 2022 season, supported by the UAE government and ADQ, which is a

They also have a successful development squad.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The arrival of Elisa Longo Borghini in 2025 was a particular turning point, one of the team&#8217;s biggest ever signings, which has not only netted them wins at races like the Giro d&#8217;Italia but also helped them attract bigger signings for 2026, including Mavi Garc\u00eda and Pauliena Rooijakkers.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This year, the team&#8217;s revelation has been Paula Blasi, who won Amstel Gold Race and La Vuelta Femenina, but despite their big budget, they are expected to lose the Spanish star who has garnered attention \u2013 and, we understand, large salary offers \u2013 from many rival teams.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">UAE Team L&#8217;IMAD have not confirmed their line-up for the Tour de France Femmes yet, but they are expected to select Longo Borghini, Blasi, and 2025 Tour revelations, fourth-placed Dominika W\u0142odarczyk, and two-time stage winner Ma\u00ebva Squiban amongst their seven-rider roster.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Support our unrivalled coverage of the Tour de France Femmes and women&#8217;s cycling by subscribing to Cyclingnews.
