A mix of youth and experience, Team dsm-firmenich announces that Rachele Barbieri, Josie Nelson and Abi Smith will join their Women’s program as of next season, strengthening their roster across the board. Barbieri and Nelson will wear the team’s jersey through to the 2026 season while Smith has a contract with the team through 2025.
"Everyone works really hard for one goal and that makes me really excited to become a part of the team as I love helping my teammates to reach their goals and really appreciate it then when they help me. I’m looking forward to joining the sprint group and helping Charlotte in the finales," says 26-year-old Barbieri in a press release.
"I like the way the team takes on young riders and develops them. This was a really important factor for me as I know I still have a lot to learn on and off the bike. I am looking forward to the challenges of stepping up to a WWT team and having the support to grow as a rider. I see myself as a classics rider or a climber but I don’t want to close any doors yet. I still need to find my strengths and race style and the best way this contributes to the team," adds 21-year-old Nelson.
"What attracted me initially to the team was their professionalism and structured approach, which I believe will work well for me as a rider. The goal for the next few years is to continue my learning and development as a rider. Of course, the goal with the team for the next few years is to win as many races as we can; I can’t wait to ride with the squad," concludes the 21-year-old Smith.
