February News from Rocacorba Cycling

Back in the Peloton!

The cycling season has kicked off in the Middle East, and we’ve been thrilled to follow the action as the year gets underway! Last week it was time for the UAE Women's Tour, where our co-founder Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio started off her season. The four day tour featured three flat stages and one climbing day up the Jebel Hafeet, a 10.8km climb with its summit at 1200m. However, even the flat stages were far from easy.

"Racing in such a unique environment was humbling, the vastness of the desert, the unpredictable echelons and those relentless crosswinds all pushed me to new limits. The desert roads were stunning, but they brought a whole new level of difficulty. I came in confident in my echelon skills, but wow riding in the crosswinds out here is a different beast. After burning match after match fighting for position, my legs definitely felt it on the Jebel Hafeet climb!"

The men's UAE Tour will kick off on Monday 17th February.
