Juliette Labous "not so worried" about Wiebes and Lippert's departure from Sunweb, takes up leading position
CyclingMonday, 14 November 2022 at 06:00
Juliette Labous is ready to take on the next season. After Lorena Wiebes and Liane Lippert leave, she will assume the role of leader.
The DSM team was one of the strongest in women's peloton, but with most of its core riders gone, it's up to Labous to maintain that position. “For sure there are some big changes,” Labous told VeloNews. She continues, “When you don’t have Lorena on the team, and also Floortje and Liane going to Movistar, it’s for sure a whole new dynamic, but I think we will have a great team and a lot of young girls who are really strong.

The 24-year-old Labous will lead the team in the grand tours. “We still have Charlotte Kool as a really strong sprinter and I’m pretty sure she can also win a lot of races so when she has her own chance. So, I think it’s great, and for me, I will be a bit more of a leader and have a bit more responsibility, but I’m looking forward and I also want to help the new girls,” explained Labous.
It is difficult to predict the future for her as well, but she remains optimistic for the future. “I think we will be maybe a bit less dominant than we were maybe this year, but we have to see how it goes and how everyone’s level this is going in the season, but I think I’m not so worried,” concluded the Frenchwoman.

- Cycling is dying. That's obvious. All you have to do is look at the huge hits the major bike component companies are taking year over year. Then there's the loss of outlets providing coverage and the costs of streaming with those that remain. Add to that the effects of E-bikes on the younger generations. Now figure that it's a sponsor based sport instead of viewer based sport.Sweep18-12-2024
