Paula Blasi's Colnago Y1Rs stolen at Volta a Catalunya

Paula Blasi and UAE Team ADQ have been victim of a brazen bike theft at the Volta a Catalunya Feminas. The young Spanish revelation finished 32nd on the flat finish into Santa Susanna on Friday's stage 1, and shortly afterwards, her bike disappeared from the finishing area.

UAE Team ADQ has appealed for information and help from the public in tracking down the distinctive Colnago Y1Rs.

"The theft occurred shortly after the finish of the stage in the parking area adjacent to the team hotel and finish zone, where several teams were gathered following the race," reads the team's press release. "The bicycle is a distinctive Colnago Y1Rs featuring UAE Team ADQ’s official colours and race specifications, making it highly identifiable and extremely difficult to resell.

"UAE Team ADQ kindly asks the cycling community and the public to report any relevant information or sightings of the bicycle to local authorities. We appreciate the support and collaboration of everyone involved."
