On the back of a successful first season with CANYON//SRAM Racing, Elise continued to add to her results sheet in 2022 when she stormed to fourth at Paris Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, sixth at Strade Bianche, third at Dwars Door Vlaanderen and took home the mountain classification win at both Itzulia Women in Spain and the Women’s Tour in Great Britain. With a palmares already stacked with several podiums and top ten performances in her relatively short pro cycling career, Elise extended her contract with CANYON//SRAM Racing through to 2024.

“I’m happy at CANYON//SRAM Racing. We have perfect material and hard-working staff, and when the opportunity came to extend my contract, I didn’t hesitate.

I’m still learning a lot about bike racing, and this team allows me to develop myself as a rider and keep my aggressive style of racing. For me, it’s very important to have the freedom to try and race in the moment and without fear. I want to keep my aggressive way of racing, and here I’m free to try and race as my instinct tells me.

Whenever I go to a race, I want to give my best to my teammates and the staff. I have found my place here and feel that the team trusts and believes in me. That gives me a lot of confidence that I can win some big races in the future. I don’t miss some of those big-race victories by much, so I’m confident that in this environment, it will happen sooner than later.”
