That’s just two years after she beat more than 100,000 other contenders for a Continental contract with Canyon-SRAM Generation, confirmed in March 2025, and before she has reached 20.<\/p>\n “They say \u2018never stop dreaming\u2019, and one dream was to be in Europe racing for a pretty cool team like Canyon-SRAM,” Dixon said in a press release.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n “Now, it\u2019s another dream coming true to race for the WorldTeam. I didn\u2019t think this would be possible before turning 20, so I think my younger self would be very proud.<\/p>\n “I knew when signing with Generation that WorldTour was what I wanted, but I wasn\u2019t so satisfied with my 2025 season and didn\u2019t quite expect to make the jump I have this year.<\/p>\n “So, in a way, I\u2019ve surprised myself, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m a bit like, \u2018Whoa, I\u2019m signing WorldTour.\u2019 I\u2019m really happy with my progression.”<\/p>\n “The team recognises that she\u2019s a young rider, and I believe it\u2019s good that she will be moving to WorldTour level in the same organisation,” added Generation Team Manager and Sports Director Gosia Jasinska in the same press release.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve already talked with the WorldTeam sport directors, and they\u2019ve also worked with her already, so they know it\u2019s not necessary to put pressure on her shoulders because she\u2019s the kind of person who is already hard on herself.<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n “In her first year at least, it will be a big step to ride in the WorldTour, but I think racing amongst the top names and for strong leaders will be a pleasure and very fun for her. Still, I think she could definitely find some opportunities for herself.”<\/p>\n Discussing her move to senior level in Canyon-SRAM and how it came about, Dixon added that “I think what\u2019s changed has been my mindset.”<\/p>\n
