South African Ashleigh Moolman, who has already finished in the top 10 overall in Grand Tours several times, is expected to captain the team. She will be supported by an experienced team with only a few young faces.
Ashleigh Moolman as captain
39-year-old Ashleigh Moolman brings the most experience to the team. The South African has already celebrated numerous successes in stage races and one-day classics in her career. At the Tour de France Femmes, she has already finished sixth overall. She will be able to play to her strengths in the mountains and difficult stages in particular.
Stronger than ever
Kimberley (Le Court) Pienaar is currently in the form of her life. The 29-year-old surprisingly won Liège-Bastogne-Liège this year, which should have set alarm bells ringing among the other teams. The Mauritian recently underlined her form with a stage win at the Tour of Britain. The rider from the AG Insurance - Soudal Team should definitely be ready for stage wins.
But not only Kimberley (Le Court) Pienaar is good for a stage win and the support of Ashleigh Moolman, but Justine Ghekiere is also a clear contender for a breakaway victory. She already won a stage with over 3000 metres of climbing at the Tour de France Femmes 2024. The riders Julie van de Velde and Urška Žigart are also strong. The Slovenian recently finished fifth overall in the Tour de Suisse in a field that included almost all of the favourites for the Tour de France Femmes.
