Soraya Paladin extends at Canyon-SRAM through 2025 after a strong year

Soraya Paladin will stay at Canyon-SRAM and has extended her contract until the end of 2025. The 30-year-old Italian made her debut for the German formation in 2022 and has had one of her best seasons ever.

Paladin rode her best year ever in 2019 with then Alé Cipollini, but this year came quite close in terms of performance, although she did not win. However, she achieved top results in the Trofeo Binda (5th), Amstel Gold Race (5th), Liège-Bastogne-Liège (9th), UAE Women Tour (7th), Vuelta a Burgos (8th) and the RideLondon Classique (9th).

She also completed the Giro d'Italia Donne and the Tour de France Femmes, with two fifth places in the French race as highlights. "The choice to extend my contract was an easy one. I feel good here," says Paladin. "I like to have people around me who trust me and that is the case here. The teammates push me to keep improving and learn as much as possible."
