Anouska Koster will join Cofidis for the 2027 season, bringing more than a decade of professional experience to the French squad after four years with Uno-X Mobility.
The Dutch rider moves on at the end of a contract that had kept her with Uno-X through 2026, adding a proven classics and stage-race rider to Cofidis as the team continues reshaping its women’s roster for next season.
Koster brings experience and attacking instinct
Koster has been racing professionally since 2012 and has built a career around aggressive one-day racing, climbing and opportunistic attacks. Her move to Cofidis follows a four-year spell with Uno-X, having extended her contract with the Norwegian team through the end of 2026.
She has continued to produce notable results deep into her career. In 2024, Koster won Kreiz Breizh Elites Féminin with a solo attack, her first UCI victory in almost five years, and she has remained a regular presence in breakaways and selective races since then.
Already familiar with Cofidis from the road
Koster has already spent plenty of time racing alongside riders from her future team. On Stage 2 of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, she was part of the day’s break with Cofidis rider Ema Comte, collecting mountain points on the road from Aigle to Geneva before the move was eventually brought back.
That kind of willingness to race from the front should fit a Cofidis team that has increasingly tried to be active in breakaways and selective one-day races rather than simply waiting for the final kilometres.
Cofidis add another experienced rider for 2027
The signing gives Cofidis a rider who can contribute in several ways. Koster can work for teammates, ride for her own result when races become attritional and provide experience to a squad that has also invested heavily in younger riders over recent seasons.
For Koster, the move opens another chapter after a long spell with Uno-X and gives her the chance to continue racing at ProTeam level with a squad that already knows her strengths well from years of racing against her.
