CyclingTuesday, 03 December 2024 at 10:45
The 2024-2025 cyclocross season is well under way and we've got the start of the road riders now anouncing their cyclocross winter calendars. But the first big news don't come from the men's field, or the elite as a matter of fact - but instead from British junior rider Cat Ferguson who has outlined her path to the World Championships.
The Spanish team has confirmed through an official statement that it will make the jump to cyclocross, thanks to its star of the future in women's cycling: Cat Ferguson. The exciting new chapter that Movistar is about to star in already has, in addition, an established calendar.
The first race that the 18-year-old British rider will compete in Movistar Team's colors in the cyclocross season will be the X2O Trofee Herentals, in Belgium. The debut date will be December 14. Following that comes the Namur World Cup, and then a dense calendar all the way into the 2nd of February where she will represent Great Britain in Liévin - as an under-23 rider.
In a statement from Movistar Team, Cat Ferguson makes her first statements after the big news was confirmed for both her and the team: "I feel very fortunate to have the support of Movistar Team for this cyclocross season. The confidence the team has in me and the support they give me is reflected in their willingness to try something new this winter and take on the muddy fields of Belgium".
"Being my first year in Elite/U23, I'm excited to start racing and learning as much as possible, for now with no pressure for results. I can't wait for my first race to start next December 14 in Herentals - see you soon, Belgium!" concludes the Brit.

- bummer - he was fun to watch and was young. had a lot left in him.mij09-01-2026
- What a fairytale day! Everything fell into place.mhfrvz09-01-2026
- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
- Yes, still sad though, that he's retiring. Anyway, best wishes for his new chaptermhfrvz08-01-2026
- has he been pushed out by the team ?
ChillingCyclist08-01-2026 - Jesus was crusified at age 33. Go out BIG, not like Froome; a good cyclist but people are now laughing and making fun of Froomey. He just doesn't know when to quit. I understand Simon Yates. Who still remembers, Pogi the GOAT also talked about retiring early? He had enough of the BS that comes with professional sports, especially cycling.NikkoNicco08-01-2026
