UAE Team ADQ

UAE Team ADQ is a professional cycling team based in UAE and logistically headquartered in Italy, which competes in elite road bicycle racing events such as the UCI Women's World Tour. In the 2024 season, it had a roster of 16 riders representing eleven different nationalities.

Team history
In September 2019, the team announced they had brought onboard Slovenian co-title sponsor, BTC Ljubljana, for the 2020 season; enabling the squad to apply for top-tier UCI Women's WorldTour status through to the end of the 2023 season with the name of Alé BTC Ljubljana.

In October 2021, confirmed it would take over and rebrand the team, joining a growing list of men's teams that have a top-level women's team. In mid-December 2021, the team kit for the 2022 season was revealed, along with the new team name, UAE Team ADQ, with the team bringing on sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ) as an additional sponsor.

The managerial leadership passed to former cyclist Rubens Bertogliati, who is still supported by Lacquaniti, while the squad for the 2022 season is made up of fifteen riders, including the confirmed riders Bastianelli, Bujak and García.

In the 2023 season, UAE Team ADQ heavily restructures its technical staff and athletes. Among others, two strong Italian athletes such as Silvia Persico and Chiara Consonni arrived. In November 2023, Maria Camila Garcia was appointed CEO of the team.
