UAE Team Emirates have officially announced their plans to launch a new developmental team at continental level for next season called ‘UAE Team Emirates Gen Z’.
"The young squad will be made-up predominantly of riders in the Under-20 category with an international line-up," says an official announcement on the team's website. "The Gen Z team, which will share the existing team service course, will benefit from the wealth of shared resources from UAE Team Emirates in terms of using the most advanced support structure as well as access to the best material, coaching and nutrition."

“We are pleased to announce that we are working to create the Gen Z team to compete as part of the UAE ambition to develop cycling, in support of a global project that started back in 2017," explained a delighted Mauro Gianetti, Team Principal & CEO of UAE Team Emirates. "We are committed to helping young riders on their path into the professional ranks and we are preparing to launch the team next year."
"The team will consist of predominantly u-20 riders (generation Z) to begin with and they will benefit from the best support structure possible with access to many of the resources available already in our professional team," he concludes. "In the coming months we will have the definitive framework and we will be ready to present the project.”
