Team SD Worx conquers UCI rankings yet again - "To prove it, again and again, is a huge challenge"

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.
