Mavi García, the maturity of the team
Our eyes will undoubtedly turn their focus on Mavi García, one of the best Spanish cyclists today.She has a balance between maturity and capabilities, especially in the mountains, which gives her a prominent role in the team.
"Mavi is part of our group of national champions and therefore, she is one of the best riders in Spain today. is one of our leaders. She is a rider who gives everything in every meter, who competes and who has shown a significant improvement in recent years," say the two UAE Team ADQ managers.
These days, Mavi is working on building the form that will take her to the best races in the world, with very clear objectives, to perform in the double Giro-Tour and look for the the Spanish time trial and long-distance champion titles.
"She is a great climber and we want to help her improve in stage races and the Tour de France. We are talking about our leader in these events, and she will have clear support from the whole team", they continue.
But that's not all: "Besides, riding alongside her motivates her teammates, she's an optimistic and positive person that we appreciate a lot. She has a special talent for leading groups. She is a born motivator.

"Here we see that example of dedication and perseverance that she shows every day. She has only been racing for six years and she is among the best in the world," adds Rubens.

She is very focused on achieving her goals and knows how to reach them, she competes very concentrated in the race, saving her energy and waking up when she sees a finish line approaching," says Melissa.
Sprints and spring classics are the goal Marta, who already has three victories to her name at the start of the season.
One of the cyclists that UAE Team ADQ is most interested in is Safiya al Sayegh, "another of the team's young riders who is at a key moment in her career in constant growth and learning as a top rider in Europe. We see her her in good time to be ready for Paris 2024".
Her trajectory involves many things: "Safiya has paved the way not only in UAE Team ADQ, but also in the Arab community, as an ambassador for the team. We want to work with her in two directions: to help her grow as a cyclist and for her to contribute to the excellent cycling ecosystem we have created at UAE Team ADQ."
In her wake may come other girls, "new talents from the region, who want to grow in cycling and here they have an excellent opportunity to get to know this beautiful sport," say those responsible for the block.
