Upcoming British star Cat Ferguson on joining Movistar - "To already have my contact with the best team there is, makes me so happy"

18-year old Cat Ferguson has already proved to be one of the most thrilling prospects in pro cycling, and she will be turning pro next year with Movistar. The Briton is thrilled to make this move, into a team that she considers to be among the best in the women's field.

Ferguson was already an impressive figure throughout the season, taking several wins, and will take the jump directly from the junior ranks to the elite ranks. However her ambitions made a few second places, including at last year's juniors road race Worlds, quite disappointing. "The disappointment I've had before makes this jersey even more special". She will be one of the favourites to win the road race later this week in Zurich, as she proved her form with a dominant win against the clock.

She already began at this point in her career to race with Movistar, the Women's World Tour team that previously had Annemiek van Vleuten. She even took her first pro win already at the Tour de la Semois. "To already have my contact with the best team there is, makes me so happy," Ferguson told Cyclingnews. "I've already done some pro races and met the other girls. They're all so welcoming."
