Agnieszka Skalniak-Sójka joins the team for 2023 and 2024. The Polish rider, who won a bronze medal in the 2015 junior road world championships, had a stellar 2022 season, winning the overall in no less than four stage races, a national title in the individual time trial and a host of other podiums.

Agnieszka will boost CANYON//SRAM Racing’s strengths in stage races, but her versatility will also provide an essential raise to the team’s options for one-day races. Riding professionally for more than six years, she brings experience and maturity to the team. Alongside her cycling career, she studies in the faculty of physical education, and with her family, she has created a small cycling academy for children.

“My dream has come true, signing for CANYON//SRAM Racing. I am super proud to be part of this team, where I can develop further and become a better rider.

After returning to Poland to live for the last two years, my career has changed. I regained confidence in myself that I could win. I changed my coach and how I prepare for a season, adding cyclo-cross to improve my technical skills.

I know what I have achieved is not the end of my possibilities. This year will certainly be very interesting. I want to find my fit in the team. My main goal will be to help our leaders in the most critical moments, and if I get my chance, I will use it 100%.”
