The young Ukrainian cycling talent Milana Ushakova, 18 years old from Kyiv, is a rider of UAE Development Team.
Ushakova has been living in Leuven, Belgium for the past three years, and during her last two seasons as a junior she achieved an impressive feat – winning both the national road race and time trial titles in each of the past two years. Her passion for cycling was inspired by her older brother, himself a cyclist and World Championship medalist on the track. Following in his footsteps, she has already succeeded in winning bronze medals at both the Track World Championships and the European Championships.
Milana Ushakova is a strong climber, performs well in stage races and general classifications, and has solid time trial abilities that make her a promising all-rounder.
