Femke Gerritse signs three-year contract with Team SD Worx

Team SD Worx has reinforced itself for the next three years (until 2026) with 22-year-old Femke Gerritse. With this, the team has contracted a young talent who hopes to develop in shorter explosive climbing and on longer climbs.

The three-year contract offer was a positive surprise for Gerritse. "It was already wonderful for me that the best team in the women's peloton was interested in me. The fact that they are offering me a contract until the end of 2026 shows that they have a lot of confidence in me. It also means that in this team I will get the chance to develop further."

"As a rider, I'm pretty all-round," Gerritse indicated. "I come into my own best on the shorter, more explosive climbs. Hill classics like the Amstel Gold Race, Liège-Bastogne-Liège but also the Strade Bianche should suit me. In the Tour de France Femmes, but also in the Tour of Scandinavia, I have seen that I can also do well on the longer climbs. That is something I hope to develop further in the coming years."

"At Team SD Worx it is fantastic that I can be at the side of Demi Vollering and Lotte Kopecky, among others, because I can learn a lot from them. It is also a privilege to work with sport director Anna van der Breggen, who has a lot of experience. For me, this is a dream transfer."
