CANYON//SRAM Racing is excited to announce that Rosa Klöser will join the team on the road until the end of 2026.

Rosa is an emerging cyclist who started competitive cycling in 2022 while studying for her PhD. She comes from a gravel racing background, most notably as the winner of the 2024 Unbound 200. Several podium performances at various UCI World Gravel Series over the past two seasons have demonstrated her attention to detail and strong work ethic. Rosa will join CANYON//SRAM Racing on the road and the team looks forward to her further development.

Rosa Klöser: “I’ve been looking up to CANYON// SRAM Racing as one of the leading Women’s World Tour teams since I started cycling around three years ago. They always stood out to me with their unique ways of identifying new talent through new approaches like the Zwift Academy, looking beyond road racing results and giving riders the freedom to combine different disciplines. From the first conversation with the team, I could tell that I would feel at home here.”

“Winning Unbound 200 in my debut year while still being a full-time PhD student who has only dipped her toes into cycling around three years ago was certainly the biggest moment in my cycling career so far. While my main focus for next season will be on gravel as a privateer, I am convinced that the team structure and road calendar where I am racing with incredibly talented team mates and being guided by highly experienced support staff, will allow me to make some big steps and unlock new potential in my still fairly new cycling career. I am excited to see where my limits are.”

“With my background in gravel racing, I believe that I can be a quite versatile rider performing and supporting the team across various terrain. I would like to try myself out in classic races and be up there in the mountain stages of Grand Tours to support the team’s GC ambition.”

“With more and more high-profile riders entering the gravel sports and participating in gravel events, adapting to new ways of racing and thinking is essential. The lessons I will learn from road racing will come in handy, as the depth in the women’s gravel peloton allows for increasingly strategic racing. On the flipside, I think the long and hard days in gravel races will allow me to thrive in the road races where the race is ridden incredibly hard from start to finish, hopefully allowing me to be up there in the final supporting the leader or racing for an individual result, if possible.”
