UCI Women's WorldTeam
This Dutch team started out in 2011 as the women’s branch of the men’s WorldTour team. Throughout their history, dsm-firmenich PostNL has built a reputation for developing young riders, often signing talented riders straight out of the junior ranks. Many of the riders that have gone through dsm-firmenich’s system have enjoyed great success in the sport, including Floortje Mackaij, Coryn Labecki and most recently, Lorena Wiebes.
The team lost some of their biggest stars, like Wiebes and Liane Lippert, at the end of 2022, but they still have the likes of top-five finisher at the Tour de France Femmes and Giro Donne Juliette Labous, sprinter Charlotte Kool and Classics riders Pfeiffer Georgi and Megan Jastrab in their ranks.
Young talent and development remains a focus for the team in 2024, with several riders going into only their second pro years, but they've also welcome Rachele Barbieri, Josie Nelson and Abi Smith, who bring some more WorldTour experience and a diversification of talent.
Sprinting and Classics with Kool and her support riders will remain a focus, but the ever-promising Juliette Labous will also hope to improve on her Giro podium finish in 2024.
