DD Group Pro Cycling Team have confirmed the signing of Dutch all-rounder Eline van Rooijen for the 2026 season, adding a versatile and ambitious rider to their Continental roster. After two seasons with Team Coop-Repsol and earlier years spent progressing through the AG Insurance-NXTG system, van Rooijen makes the move with a clear focus on growth and responsibility.
The transfer comes after what she described as encouraging and decisive conversations with team representative Stijn. “I am incredibly happy that I can be part of this beautiful team next season. After valuable talks with Stijn, I immediately felt this was the right step in my development. I am really looking forward to challenging myself in a new environment. Ready for this new chapter.”
Van Rooijen arrives with a results sheet that showcases both finishing speed and race craft. She has two career victories to her name: a commanding win at the Ladies Tour of Estonia (2024) and a breakthrough triumph at the Grote Prijs Yvonne Reynders (2023). Those performances, combined with top-five results at Veenendaal-Veenendaal (2023) and a strong eighth place at the Vuelta CV (2025), underline her ability to perform across a range of northern European terrain.
The 25-year-old has matured steadily across her years in the Continental ranks, showing poise in hectic bunch sprints and resilience in harder, selective races. Her well-rounded profile makes her an ideal addition for DD Group Pro Cycling Team as they look to strengthen their core for the coming season.
This signing reflects the team’s continued commitment to recruiting riders with both proven ability and clear upward potential. In van Rooijen, they gain a rider eager to take the next step – and a competitor ready to make an impact in her new colours.
