The Women’s WorldTour could be set to see one of the biggest riders in the peloton change teams over winter as reports suggest she’s set for a big-money contract as a team seems set to buy out her contract.<\/p>\n
According to Wielerflits, the Spanish rider<\/a> has agreed to join Movistar from 2027, despite earlier reports she was signing with Lidl-Trek. She had recently signed a new contract with UAE Team ADQ<\/a>, adding a \u20ac100,000 buyout clause, but she seems to be on her way to the Spanish team in a deal that would see her make close to \u20ac1 million per year<\/p>\n The 23-year-old sensation is in the midst of iher definitive breakthrough. Last year, she became European Under-23 Champion, finished fourth in the Tour de Romandie, and sixth in the Tour de l’Avenir. But 2026 was a step up with a third place in the Tour Down Under, before her victory in the Amstel Gold Race and Vuelta a Espana.<\/p>\n
Blasi\u2019s 2025 results make that argument easier to understand. Alongside her wins at Amstel and La Vuelta Femenina, she finished third at La Fleche Wallonne and fifth at Liege-Bastogne-Liege.<\/p>\n That gave her spring campaign real depth. It was not one surprise result followed by silence. It was a sustained arrival at the highest level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Women’s WorldTour could be set to see one of the biggest riders in the peloton change teams…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,197925,101,111628,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-662221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-paula-blasi","tag-sports","tag-uae-team-adq","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
