Team Jayco Alula welcomes Saudi cycling talent Moroj Adil to European training camp

ALULA: Professional road race cycling team Team Jayco Alula has welcomed young Saudi Arabian talent Moroj Adil to their European training camp. The 24-year-old is in Girona, Spain, a European base for many of the team’s riders and staff. There, Adil took part in more training in the pursuit of becoming a professional rider in the women’s WorldTour peloton.

Adil first met the team in Alula a few days after the UCI Saudi Tour in February, where she attended key presentations and underwent valuable training. She said it was a great step to join the camp in Spain, and progress for a sport she began as a hobby at just one and a half years old. “I used to be really attached to my father and whatever he would do, I would do with him.

After he passed away, I wanted to find a new hobby. I found cycling and it helped me cope with stress and allowed me to spend more time outdoors. “As my love for cycling grew, I was determined to become a professional cyclist and compete,” she added.

“Being part of the training with Team Jayco Alula is a major step for my career and I’m grateful for such a wonderful opportunity. “It’s been an honor to be part of the growing cycling community in Alula, and I’m excited for what’s to come.” Philip Jones, Chief Tourism Officer of The Royal Commission for Alula, said: “Moroj is an incredible talent, embodying the spirit of cycling and inspiring Saudi women and men. I’m thrilled that our collaboration with Team Jayco Alula has empowered her to experience this transformative milestone.
