A significant event awaits the UAE Development Team on the roads of Belgium as they participate in the Ronde de Mouscron on Monday, April 1st, a race covering 122.5 kilometers on a flat route (start: 12:00 PM). Taking part in this competition, the UAE Development Team will feature Beatrice Caudera, Elisabeth Ebras, Sara Fiorin, Lara Gillespie, Hannah Kunz, Emma Redaelli, and Federica Venturelli. For the Irish national champion Lara Gillespie - who, fifteen days ago, secured a second place in the team pursuit and a third place in the omnium at the World Cup event in Hong Kong while wearing the national team jersey - it will mark her seasonal debut in the UAE Development Team colors. There is also much anticipation to see how Federica Venturelli's seasonal debut will unfold as she competes for the first time in the elite category wearing the UAE Development Team jersey.

Furthermore, the UAE Development Team athletes will also be competing in the Scheldeprijs race on April 3rd, providing them with an opportunity to measure themselves against the world's top sprinters. In this race, Beatrice Caudera, Elisabeth Ebras, Sara Fiorin, and Lara Gillespie will participate wearing the UAE Team ADQ jersey; it will be a unique opportunity for them to take part in a Belgian classic and learn from more experienced athletes.
