We have already seen that UAE AdQ has made a quantum leap, including in terms of a winning mentality, with the arrival of Elisa Longo Borghini. And we'll have further proof on Sunday, March 9th in Versilia at the Gold in Euro Trophy.

The Emirates team has indeed decided to line up its brightest stars at the Tuscan race, namely Elisa Longo Borghini, Silvia Persico and Karlijn Swinkels, fresh from their home race - the UAE Tour Women - which they truly dominated with first, second, and fifth places in the general classification, but above all with team cohesion demonstrated both in the wind and on the climbs.

UAE AdQ has already won the Gold in Euro Trophy in 2022 with Sofia Bertizzolo, then came the two victories by Lidl Trek - in 2023 the one-two punch of Gaia Realini and Amanda Spatt, and then last year Elisa Longo Borghini's solo victory, her first of the season, right in front of her current teammate Swinkels - but now the Emirates team returns in full force hunting for victory in Tuscany, lining up, alongside the aforementioned athletes, Brodie Chapman, Alena Amaliusik and Dominika Wlodarczyk.

The choice by UAE AdQ's technicians confirms the growing value that the Gold in Euro Trophy has earned season after season: the Tuscan race sees the level of stars at the start increasing year after year. Some names for the next edition? Ruth Edwards from Human Powered Heath, third in 2024, the experienced Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig from Canyon // SRAM and her teammate Neve Bradburry, third at the 2024 Giro d'Italia, and Pauliena Roojiakkers from Fenix Deceuninck, third at the Tour and fourth at the Giro in the past season.

The start list, of course, is destined to become even richer, without forgetting that many Italian athletes will be at the start who want to follow in the footsteps of Elisa Longo Borghini, Silvia Persico and teammates: suffice it to say that on March 9th, the show is guaranteed...

We remind you that on Sunday, March 9th, it will be possible to follow the last two hours of the Gold in Euro Trophy race via live streaming on the organization's YouTube channel.
