When Danielle De Francesco lined up with Zaaf Cycling Team at the Tour Down Under in January to make her international debut with the Spanish squad she quickly stood out as a savvy signing. The Australian demonstrated that she was clearly one of the new batch of neo-pros to watch closely, finishing fourth on two stages and also snaring sixth overall at her first Women's WorldTour race.
It’s no surprise then that the 29-year-old, who can handle the climbs as well as deliver a fast finish, has now found a new home despite being put in the difficult situation of needing to find a new contract mid-season.
