Team Amani today unveiled the first women’s UCI Continental Cycling Team from Africa, with veteran cyclist Olympian Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio introducing the new squad on stage at Rouleur Live.

The new team is registered in Ethiopia and features riders from Rwanda, Ethiopia and across East Africa. It aims to participate in the Tour de France Femmes, Giro d’Italia Donne and La Vuelta Femenina by 2028.

The launch marks a significant milestone for the East African high-performance collective, which was founded in 2020 to dismantle long-standing barriers that have prevented African cyclists from reaching the sport’s top tiers. You may like
