Pauliena Rooijakkers The Netherlands
Pauliena had the best career season after joining CANYON//SRAM Racing in 2022. She won Durango-Durango, the mountain classification at Tour de Suisse and was part of the team classification win at Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
“I’m a climber. I like to climb and fight against the mountains and myself. GC riding is something I’m working on and is the next step in my career.
“The most important thing is to be part of the team. When we each do our job, we will have multiple options in the finals to win. For me to win a world tour race, I need my teammates’ support, and vice versa; for my teammates to win, they need a strong team around them in the final.”
