Lisa van Belle, a bronze medalist from the Paris Olympic Games, has signed with the SD Worx-Protime team and will debut in the Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es. The 21-year-old, previously with Velopro-Alphamotorhomes, has had notable success, claiming a third-place finish with Maike van der Duin at the Olympics and winning the European title. Sports Director Danny Stam views her as a key future talent and believes this opportunity helps her transition from track to road racing while easing her pressure during her debut race.
The decision to add a rider is because we were regularly tight in our line-ups. True talent like Lisa van Belle is important for our future.
Sometimes it is more ideal to debut in a smaller race. Yet, by having Lisa start at the Vuelta Femenina, she can adapt under less pressure.
