Cycling Transfers: All the latest news ahead of the Tour de France Femmes 🇫🇷

Hey Subscribers,

The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift starts this weekend, and I’ll be there at the race for the duration. I’m really looking forward to covering Femmes for the first time, and the batteries feel a bit more recharged since the end of the men’s race.

Before Femmes, I’ve put together everything we know about several team roster changes and high-profile transfers – most of which haven’t been picked up yet by the majority of media outlets.

We’ll take a look at SD Worx, a bunch of changes at CANYON SRAM, and the latest on potential managerial shifts at UAE Team L’IMAD. There are also transfers involving Lidl-Trek, Uno-X, EF Education Oatly, Movistar and more.

Let’s get started!

We’ll kick off with Lidl-Trek. As we know, Kasia Niewiadoma is set to head there in 2027, having agreed to a multi-year contract with the German team. Of course, her focus is on winning another Tour de France Femmes title this season, but her CANYON//SRAM time is coming to an end this year.

Heading in the opposite direction is Shirin van Anrooij. She is leaving Lidl-Trek and is very strongly linked with a move to CANYON//SRAM. Lucinda Brand’s future is unclear. I’ve heard that Lidl-Trek offered the veteran a proposal, but it’s unclear whether the deal has been signed.
