EF Education-Cannondale adds two talented youngsters to their women lineup

Magdeleine Vallieres and Letizia Borghesi will join EF Education-Cannondale next season. The pair both have two years of experience in the Women’s WorldTour and though they have already shown themselves to be exemplary teammates, Borghesi and Vallieres are looking to grow with their new team.

"I love races like Strade Bianche and the grand tours," the 22-year old Vallieres says. "I like the long races because you really get to push your limits to another level going that hard every single day. I like how you can improve so much within a race, too. In stage racing, you get to apply what you’ve learned from the stage before and keep pressing forward."

"The classics are really good for me," the 24-year old Borghesi adds. "I’m good in Belgian-type weather, on the cobbles, on gravel, I have good bike handling skills. So the classics are my favorite because you have to do a lot of short efforts on the steep climbs right after tight corners while keeping your position in the bunch. I love this type of racing but I still want to improve even more to fight for results next year."
