Tamara Dronova

Tamara Dronova has committed to another season with Team Roland, marking her fifth year with the squad. Despite a challenging 2024 season, Dronova is determined to bounce back and lead her team with renewed ambition.

Reflecting on her role within the team, Dronova is described as both a leader and a road captain who prioritises team spirit and collective effort. Known for sharing her experience with teammates, she remains a key figure for the Swiss outfit. Speaking about the extension, she expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming season. โ€œ2024 wasnโ€™t the year I wanted it to be, but Iโ€™ve learnt from it. Iโ€™m excited for the challenges ahead and the chance to aim high in the classics and Grand Tours. Together with the team, I know we can achieve great things.โ€

After a couple of strong seasons prior to 2024, this yearโ€™s results didnโ€™t quite match expectations for the Russian rider. However, her commitment to improvement and readiness to embrace new challenges are central to her goals. Team Roland confirmed that Dronovaโ€™s experience and leadership qualities continue to make her a crucial asset.

Looking ahead to 2025, Dronova will focus on success in both the one-day classics and stage races. By building on her wealth of experience and the support of her teammates, she aims to steer Team Roland towards victories across a range of terrains and races.
