Italian Silvia Persico has undoubtedly been one of the biggest revelations of the 2022 international cycling women's season. From the bronze medal she picked up at the Cyclo-cross World Championships at the beginning of the year to her amazing results in the road races, culminating with a bronze medal at the World Championships in Wollongong 2022 last Saturday, she has enjoyed exponential growth and an enviable consistency of performance. 
Silvia Persico has big ambitions: “I’m looking forward to three very positive and important years for my career. I come from a team like Valcar where I grew up as a child and now, I have made this choice of UAE Team ADQ to continue my path of growth for the best. This season has made me understand a lot of things and with more freedom, I have won my space. I think I have shown that I can be a leader. And with the new team, I can only improve and gain even more experience”.
