UAE Development Team is pleased to announce the arrival of a new athlete to complete the roster for the 2024 season. She is Lola Bryson-Boe, an athlete born in 2005 and resident in Christchurch, New Zealand.

“I hope to develop a strong foundation for a long career of professional cycling - Lola said - with the support that UAE Development Team provide, I believe it is the best place to begin my career with the goal to eventually move up into the World Tour Team. UAE Development Team offers an amazing opportunity for young female athletes to grow, and I feel fortunate to be in this team that aligns with my values.“

Lola Bryson-Boe's CV is very particular, because this athlete comes from triathlon; this year she competed for two months in Italy with the Down Under Cycling Academy team.

“I grew up in a rural environment that connected me to the outdoors - Lola explained - Mountain Biking, skiing, running, and swimming have all played a huge part in my development. When I was 14 I picked up my first road bike, and began competing in triathlon at a national level. In late 2022, I raced my last triathlon after deciding to fully focus on road cycling. The 2023 season was my first taste of international racing, and I am really excited to be coming back in 2024 to continue my grew with UAE Development Team.

“My main goal will be to continue my growth through training and racing experience. I aim to become a strong asset for the team and a valuable teammate for the girls at UAE Development.”
