UCI WorldTour logo.jpgBen Swift’s UAE Abu Dhabi team gets final WorldTour licence
The team formerly known as Lampre-Merida has been awarded the 18th and final UCI WorldTour licence for 2017. A two-year licence has been awarded to UAE Abu Dhabi following a review of the UCI’s sporting, financial, administrative and ethical criteria.
It was announced in August that Chinese company TJ Sport Consultation would become Lampre’s new licence holders and soon after that the team signed British rider Ben Swift.
Swift had been with Team Sky since its inception, but faced uncertainty when the team’s prospective backers then pulled out. However, last week it was announced that new sponsors from the UAE had stepped in at the last minute.
