UAE Team L’IMAD Set to Make Its Debut at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes

UAE Team L’IMAD will officially make its debut under its new name at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, taking place from Saturday, August 1 to Sunday, August 9.

As announced yesterday, the team will mark the occasion by wearing a special edition jersey inspired by the Falcon of the Emirates, an authentic expression of Emirati identity. The design embodies the values of vision, speed, precision, courage and leadership – qualities shared by both the falcon and the demands of elite cycling.

The race will feature nine stages, beginning with the first two days of the Grand Départ in Switzerland before moving into France, including the legendary ascent of Mont Ventoux on August 7, and concluding with the final weekend in Nice.

The UAE Team L’IMAD lineup for the 2026 Tour de France Femmes is: Dominika Wlodarczyk, Elisa Longo Borghini, Silvia Persico, Mavi Garcia, Maeva Squiban, Paula Blasi and Brodie Chapman.
