AG Insurance-Soudal Development Team is gearing up for the 2025 season with a revamped roster, introducing a new wave of young talent while saying farewell to some notable riders from the 2024 squad. With a focus on nurturing emerging cyclists, AG Insurance-Soudal remains committed to offering its U23 riders valuable opportunities to progress in the competitive peloton.
Among the riders moving on, Lore De Schepper has secured a spot with the AG Insurance-Soudal main team, while Febe Jooris will transition to the UAE Development Team. Julia Kopecky, meanwhile, will join Team SD Worx-Protime, further bolstering their line-up with her developing talent.
Mirre Knaven, whose contract at AG Insurance-NXTG was due to end after the 2024 season was already racing with EF Education-Oatly-Cannondale in 2024 and will be renewed into 2025. Knaven, known for her resilience and teamwork, will bring a wealth of potential to her new squad as she takes on fresh challenges in the peloton.
Other riders with expiring contracts, including Julia Gregoire, Noëlle Rüetschi, and Laura Lizette Sander, have yet to confirm their plans for the upcoming season. Their next moves remain a question mark, though each rider has showcased skills that would make them valuable assets in various team dynamics across the cycling landscape.
New Talents Set to Shine in 2025
Stepping in for the outgoing talent, AG Insurance-Soudal’s 2025 roster includes an exciting mix of riders, each bringing unique qualities. Track specialist Messane Brautigam, a Junior World Champion, will look to make her mark on the road with her impressive speed and tactical insight. Joining her is Anna Bruneel, a promising rider with a knack for breakaways and solo efforts, and Billy Goossens, who aims to leverage her explosive power from BMX in fast finishes.
Other notable names in the 2025 line-up include Nina Lavenu, who is focused on one-day races and classics, and Amandine Muller, a climber with ambitions in stage races.
