Emma Norsgaard, the 24-year-old Danish rider, is set to leave Movistar Team at the end of this season. Norsgaard, who has been with the Spanish squad since 2021, has not yet revealed her future team destination. Rumours swirl about potential talks with Lidl-Trek, but no official agreement has been announced.
During her stint with Movistar, Norsgaard quickly became a notable figure in the peloton, celebrating significant victories, including a stage win at last year’s Tour de France Femmes. Her tenure also featured wins at prestigious races such as the Ceratizit Festival Elsy Jacobs and Le Samyn, as well as multiple Danish national time trial championships.
Despite her success, Norsgaard’s career has been marred by injuries, including a severe crash in the 2022 Tour de France and a collarbone break in early 2023. These setbacks have tested her resilience, yet she continues to be a formidable competitor on the road.
Norsgaard’s departure marks the end of a productive chapter with Movistar, as both rider and team look towards future challenges.
