Lorena Wiebes will be joining Team SD Worx next season. The 23-year old sprint star has signed a three year contract (2023-2025). Read more here: teamsdworx.com/en/news/lorena…
The women's peloton has been shaken with the news of Lorena Wiebes moving to rival team Team SD Worx last week during the Tour de France Femmes, and the transfer has now been confirmed by both parties.
"For years I have dreamed of being part of the world's best UCI women's team with several world-class riders who I can pull myself up by," Wiebes said in a press release. "In principle I would have liked to stay with my current team but I got an offer from Team SD Worx with a lot of opportunities"
A report had hinted that the Wiebes had been offered a contract with the largest salary in the women's peloton. Details cannot be confirmed, however such a move would be fully justified taking into account that with only 23 years of age, Wiebes has become the main figure in the peloton when it comes to the sprints, taking no less than 17 stage wins.
Wiebes recently took another two stage wins at the Tour de France Femmes, taking her already stocked palmarès to another level. Her recent performances in the sprints have made her one of the most valued rider in the peloton, with unimaginable potential. Her three-year deal with Team SD Worx will bring the Dutch team to an even higher level, as they continue to seek a large number of high-level of wins in the international calendar.
"I look back with pride on an instructive and very successful time with Team DSM. I will try to make it a successful remaining term of this season," she concluded.
