CANYON//SRAM Racing is thrilled to announce Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig will join the team for the 2025 season after signing a two-year contract. The talented Danish rider, renowned for her versatility and determination, will boost CANYON//SRAM Racing’s strengths in one-day classics and stage races.

In 2022, Cecilie took a superb stage win at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and an overall victory at the Tour of Scandinavia. In 2023, she won two stages of the Tour of Scandinavia, and added a second Giro dell’Emilia and a bronze medal at the UCI Road World Championships to her palmares. She has World Tour podiums at one-day races like Strade Bianche or in the Ardennes at Fléche Wallonne. Cecilie’s 2024 season began with a stage win at the Tour Down Under in Australia before several setbacks prevented her from reaching her top form. CANYON//SRAM Racing welcomes her never-give-up attitude and lively personality to its 2025 roster.

Reflecting on the move, Cecilie shared her excitement:

“I am immensely looking forward to joining CANYON//SRAM Racing for 2025 and onward. I love the team’s aggressive racing style and not being afraid to lose. I am sure I will fit right in with this kind of racing. That is exactly the type of rider I aim and want to be.”

After a tough 2024 season marked by crashes and illness, Cecilie is focused on putting the past behind her and returning to her best form:

“2024 has been a tough season for me. Lots of crashes and sickness. I really want to put all this behind me and get back to my old form. In this way, I can contribute to a super dynamic team and reach our goals together.

Known for her determination, Cecilie is no stranger to bouncing back from adversity. She recalls a pivotal moment from the 2022 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift:

“Sometimes you gain strength through hard times. For example, in the first Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, most of the team crashed on stage 2, and we lost a lot of time in the general classification. But the day after, we managed to bounce back and win the stage. That’s one of the proudest moments of my career. Never give up.”

The move to CANYON//SRAM Racing presents an exciting new chapter in her career. Cecilie is confident the team’s support will help her develop further as a rider:

“It’s clear from my talks with the team that the support from the team and its staff is very professional, and I feel confident that they will help me in my further development as a rider. Bring on 2025.”
