Moroj Adil

First Saudi woman to turn professional. Racing in Europe for an Olympic place, and for the riders coming after her.

Introduction

Moroj Adil is the first Saudi woman to race a bicycle professionally. She joined a cycling group in Jeddah in 2022 without a bike and without knowing how to ride. Two years later she signed a professional contract and moved to Europe for a full racing season.

Career

Two years from a borrowed bike to a contract

The compressed timeline is the point. Most professional cyclists spend a decade in junior and under twenty three racing before they are paid to ride. Moroj covered that ground in two seasons, on terrain that ranges from four hundred kilometre desert stage races to European road calendars.

Roots and route

Makkah, AlUla, Girona

She was born in Makkah. AlUla is where she races at home, where her team takes its name, and where she rides with the young riders coming up behind her. Girona is where the European season runs from. Two countries, two seasons, one career.

Destinations

Where the bike goes

A racing calendar is also a travel calendar. Moroj rides and trains across Saudi Arabia and Europe, which makes her a natural fit for destinations, tourism boards and travel brands with something real to show.

Partnership

Why brands work with Moroj

Moroj sits where professional sport, Saudi Arabia and women's cycling meet. She races a European calendar and returns home for the Saudi season, which gives a partner two distinct markets and two distinct content environments inside one athlete.
