Safiya Al Sayegh, UAE National Champion and pro-rider of the Word Tour Team, and Zahra Hussein, pro-rider of UAE Continental team, will debut on the European Circuit at a UCI Women continental race, the Princess Ana Vasa Tour.
The three-stage race, held in Poland from Friday, July 28, until Sunday, July 30, will provide invaluable experience to the two riders.
"The UAE Development Team has a distinct and innovative approach, tailored to nurture and improve athletes’ cycling skills while ensuring they progress without undue pressures," said Valentino Villa, Manager of the UAE Development Team.
This race will help Al Sayegh improve her physical fitness and will give her international exposure ahead of the Glasgow World Championship in August.
