Talented British teenager Cat Ferguson will become one of the youngest professional riders in the Women's WorldTour peloton in 2024 when she debuts as a stagiaire for Movistar in the second half of the season, before formally joining the Spanish WorldTour team for 2025 on a three-year contract.
Ferguson won the Junior Tour of Flanders and the junior Trofeo Binda in the spring and was second in the junior road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Glasgow. She's considered a multi-talented rider who can shine on all terrains, including cyclocross and track.
"It's a dream come true to soon turn pro with the Movistar Team," Ferguson said as Movistar announced her signing. "From our first meeting, it felt like such a welcoming and family environment, with a great focus on developing my attributes at WorldTour level.
"I look forward to learning from the best and most experienced riders in the world, and couldn’t think of a better team to help me make the step up to elite cycling. "First, I want to close out my junior CX and road seasons, hopefully achieving some big wins."

- The race where he overnight suddenly turned nuclear after being packfodder at best for several years. His Sky days after that Vuelta and Pogačar’s last season shall remain the darkest post Lance stuff cycling has witnessed. Good riddance Froome.
UltimateOpportunist20-12-2024 - Finishing the Vuelta seems to be a reasonably attainable goal. Getting on the team to do that will be the more difficult challenge.
santiagobenites20-12-2024 - To be fair, he has now stated his fuel regime had been corrected and the results concur.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
- You can look at things mathematically sometimes to get a better understanding of performance distribution. To be an elite cyclist you may need a number of qualities, say 8 some of which are quite obvious (engine), some more debatable (body type). If you look at distribution you’ll get a whole bunch with 6 or 7 very elevated values but 1-2 not so perfect and occasionally someone will pop up with all 8 really well developed. However, statistically, for that to be a given the chances drop by about an order of magnitude each time so in general for each 2 at the top you’ll have 20 at the next level, 200 at tge 3rd, 2000, etc. I don’t see the actual distribution as so weird, we have a few too many right at the very top level but statistically it’s just because for the past 15-20 years there wasn’t really anyone clearly standing out, level 1 was bunched with level two.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
- Froome is still riding? I thought he just dressed out and appeared at team photoshoots.Sweep20-12-2024
- Well, I’d say that like is more likely to attract line when it comes to certain interests and cycling is probably one of them. The rowdy alcohol swaying type as an example, that features occasionally but EACh time there is an incident is obviously an exception amongst cycling fans. We are not very vocal about our passion which is understandable considering the little interest an average person has so it often takes special circumstances for us to discover our peers :-)Mistermaumau20-12-2024

- Exactly who, Joey, is "they"? Flimsy, illogical conspiracy theories aside, it is in no one's interest (financial or otherwise) to "drive away small local events." Major cultural and macroeconomic factors are reducing ridership, but there is no "they" in this context.verve82520-12-2024
