The next few years will see Silvia Persico racing for UAE Team ADQ. The 25-year-old Italian rider has signed a three-year contract with the team.
Persico has established herself as a well-known rider in Cyclo-cross, but this season was especially good for her in flat races. In addition to finishing fifth in the first Tour de France Femmes this year, she also finished seventh at the Giro d'Italia and seventh in the Tour of Burgos. Furthermore, she won a stage in the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta.
After racing for Valcar-Travel & Service for six years the rider is looking to upgrade the team. "I am looking forward to the next few years, which are very important for my career," she said. "I am leaving Valcar, where I grew up because I hope to take an extra step with my new team. I learned a lot this season, and I think I did show that I can lead a team. The decision to sign with UAE Team ADQ for three years was also based on shared values. To have a project that goes beyond cycling. With the team, we can be a source of inspiration for so many women, especially in the Arab world," concluded Persico.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
