While other WorldTour teams (Trek-Segafredo and Jumbo-Visma to name two) have former racers directing them, none are as recently retired as van der Breggen, and that intimate knowledge of the peloton is sure to pay off. And having someone as knowledgeable as van der Breggen calling the shots on the team radio will be an added bonus. Vollering will now be top dog on SD Worx, which will give her the support and mental advantage in coming races. In 2017, she beat 39 other racers in the 5-7 age group category to take the UCI World Champion title in BMX. While having van der Bergen as a teammate likely helped Vollering get going in the WorldTour, it’s hard to have two ultra-strong racers on one team, since only one rider can win the race.

Ellie Carey ( ellieacarey) is only 7 years old, but she’s already a world champ. This is in part because the new team director for SD Worx this season is none other than recently-retired Anna van der Breggen, arguably one of the GOATs of women’s cycling.
Demi Vollering has the season of her life in 2021-victories at La Course, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, and the Giro d’Italia Donne-and it’s not unreasonable to think that she’ll have an even better 2022 season.
