Manage episode 363094472 series 3400010
Todayâs guest is playing a big role in the development of cycling in the UAE, particularly for women. Melissa Moncada is the Head of Team at UAE Team ADQ - thatâs the UAEâs Womenâs WorldTour Cycling Team. Sheâs also Vice President at Colnago.
As youâll hear in this episode, UAE Team ADQ extends beyond a pro team, it's a movement. It features a pro team, a development team - the first of its kind in the Womenâs WorldTour may we add, - as well as a grassroots movement, Women Moving Forward which provides pathways and opportunities for UAE residents to enjoy cycling.
As two cyclists, we loved our chat with Melissa, learning about the inner workings of a womenâs pro cycling team. In this episode youâll learn about its structure, the team behind the team and how UAE Team ADQ is part of a bigger mission to inspire and enable a new generation of cyclists at every level.
