by July 1, 2022The DNA Pro Cycling team has announced the signing of Emily Marcolini to its 2022 roster. The 26-year-old Canadian cyclist will race with the team through the remainder of the year and is expected to be on the roster for DNA’s upcoming international stage races, Vuelta a Colombia Femenina and Tour Cycliste Féminin International de L’Ardèche.

She is signing from the US domestic team, 3T/Q+M and previously rode with Team TIBCO/SVB.

Marcolini, who hails from Sudbury, Ontario, joins two other Canadians on the DNA squad, Maggie Coles-Lyster and Kaitlyn Rauwerda.
“We are excited to have Marcolini join the team mid-season. Her unique strengths and experience will strengthen our team dynamic and increase our opportunities for success,” said Catherine Fegan-Kim, team co-owner and director.
