Liv AlUla Jayco<\/strong> head to the UAE Tour Women<\/strong> this week with a two pronged approach to tackle the Middle Eastern Women’s WorldTour race, with a mixed team led by Australian sprinter Georgia Baker<\/strong> and Italian climber Monica Trinca Colonel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commonwealth Games champion Baker will lead the charge in the first three stages which are expected to be bunch sprint finishes. Meanwhile, after an impressive debut in 2025 at the event, where she claimed fourth place finish overall, Trinca Colonel returns eager for more. The 26-year-old is ready to challenge for victory on the final stage, to subsequently give her a strong GC showing, with the race culminating with a battle up the iconic Jebel Hafeet climb on the fourth and final stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making their debut\u2019s in the WorldTour team, having made the step up from Liv AlUla Jayco Women’s Continental team is Dutch rider No\u00e4 Jansen <\/strong>and Italian Matilde Vitillo<\/strong>, who are ready to show their talents. The experienced Dutch duo Jeanne Korevaar<\/strong> and Quinty Ton<\/strong>, round out the six-rider squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monica Trinca Colonel \u2013 4th GC 2025<\/span><\/strong>
\u201cI\u2019m ready and looking forward to start this season! After a few days in Spain, I feel good and hope to do well this year like I did last year at the race, and why not, maybe even better. This year the queen stage is the last day, so we will see what happens the days before. I\u2019m confident in my team so we\u2019ll go with the right motivation. The climb really suits on me, if I will have good feelings that day, I hope to get a good result for the team and myself. For sure, compared to last year, I know what\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wim Stroetinga \u2013 Sport Director <\/span><\/strong>
\u201cAfter a strong start in Australia, we are ready for the UAE Tour. We have a strong team lining up, and the European riders have had a good training camp with the team in Spain. We are here with riders who know very well how to ride in crosswinds, and hopefully that will help us achieve good results. Georgia had an unfortunate start at the TDU with a crash, but we have full confidence that she can compete for the victory in the first three stages. The team will also do everything they can to make sure Monica is well placed in the GC after the first three stages, so she can go for the stage win on the final day, which would automatically put her in contention for the overall as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
