Team SD Worx conquers UCI rankings yet again - "To prove it, again and again, is a huge challenge"
CyclingSunday, 13 November 2022 at 06:00
SD Worx is the most dominant women's team in the world. The team has maintained top ranking consistently in the last six seasons. This season alone it has secure 20 victories.
"I am definitely proud of that. It shows that for years we have managed to be the best team in the most important race series. To prove it, again and again, is a huge challenge. Especially when you see in recent years that the competition is getting bigger and bigger," said Sports Manager Danny Stam.
In comparison to men, women's cycling is relatively new. In the last decade, sponsors and audiences have begun to recognize the potential of women's cycling. "Many WorldTour teams have joined, setting up a women's team in addition to a men's team. They all build a team around two to three top female riders. Nowadays, you see that even in women's cycling the talents are committed much earlier. To then win the WorldTour for so many years in a different composition, I think, is a great achievement," said Stam.
As opposed to other teams who fear relegation due to too few points, SD Worx hasn't encountered such problems in years. "The UCI World Ranking is something we can be proud of. We had another good season and several nice wins. It's not just those 20 wins but also 47 podium finishes,” explained Stam.
The team hopes to utilize Demi Vollering's full potential in the next Tour de France Femmes. “Tour is a gamechanger for women's cycling. Of course, the spring with the Monuments retains its value, but the importance of the Tour de France Femmes is already very high after just one edition," concluded Stam.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
