Safiya Al Sayegh, UAE National Champion and pro-rider of the Word Tour Team, and Zahra Hussein, pro-rider of UAE Continental team, will debut on the European Circuit at a UCI Women continental race, the Princess Ana Vasa Tour.
The three-stage race, held in Poland from Friday, July 28, until Sunday, July 30, will provide invaluable experience to the two riders.
