Talented junior Cat Ferguson signs a long-term deal with Movistar Team

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."
