The great potential of Spanish cycling will soon jump onto the World Tour! Pablo Torres will compete in the main team of UAE Team Emirates from the 2025 season on his first professional contract. And what a great deal that is!
The 18-year-old rider from Madrid has renewed his contract with the UAE until 2030, the team confirmed in an official statement. One of Josรฉan Fernรกndez Matosin’s biggest bets, Torres will leave UAE Team Emirates Z Generation behind and move to the next level.
Pablo Torres’ name has shot to fame in recent months after his impressive performance at the Tour de L’Avenir. There, the Spaniard started to make a name for himself as one of the most promising young cyclists in the world, winning two stages and coming close to winning the overall championship with a big comeback on the final day.
Since then, some of the historical figures of Spanish cycling have succumbed to the projection of Pablo Torres. The final one was none other than Alberto Contador, who made a statement saying he could compete for the Tour de France in the future.
Pablo Torres’ words after the renewal
In an official press release from the UAE team, Pablo Torres made his first statement as a WorldTour rider: “For me, it is a dream to be part of UAE Team Emirates. I am very excited and , I am eager to continue to grow and be surrounded by the same team.”Being part of the best team in the world, with the best professionals, the treatment I have received this year has been great from both the staff and the riders, and I look forward to 2030. I am happy to be a part of the team until now. โ
“We have worked hard to take this big step, but this is just the beginning and we still have a lot of work to do to give the best for the team. We are very grateful for the support and appreciate it. ‘And they had faith in me from day one,’ he added.
It remains to be seen how much of a star Pablo Torres will become in his first few years with UAE team Emirates. Competition will be fierce, with the likes of Tadej Pogaฤar, Juan Ayuso and Isaac Del Toro taking part. What is clear is that Matoshin’s team is in trouble.
