I can’t wait and look forward to enjoying every moment.”
“We are proud to welcome Fariba to the CERATIZIT family,” said CERATIZIT Pro Cycling Manager, Claude Sun, “when we were looking at riders for the next season, she ticked all the boxes in terms of potential, and her competitive spirit makes her an outstanding addition to our international team. We look forward to supporting her development as she competes at the sport's highest level.”
“I am really proud of Fariba.” Road to Equality President, Alessandra Cappellotto said, “Since August 2021, when I helped her and other Afghan cyclists to come to Italy, her growth has been constant and I am happy that her career can continue with CERATIZIT. I really believe that this is the right team to help her realise her cycling dreams.”
