“We started talking about it in September and competing in the WorldTour with UAE Team ADQ is an exciting decision for my career. I want to improve my level as a runner and compete in the biggest races in the world and now I will do it alongside a fantastic team. Even in a short time, I really appreciated the spirit and the atmosphere within the team”, declared Squiban.
“It will be the first time that I will race for a team outside of France and it is a big challenge but a new stage in my career. When I was in a French team, it was with good runners but when I heard that Elisa (Longo Borghini) was joining UAE Team ADQ, the news was crazy. It will be amazing to race at this level. I don't know my race schedule yet, but races like the Women's Giro d'Italia and the Strade Bianche would be very exciting for me next season.” she added.
