Veronica Ewers leads new EF Cannondale team with eye on 'brutal' Giro stages

When EF Education-Cannondale announced plans for their new team in 2024, Veronica Ewers was the first big-time rider under contract. Racing with a US Continental licence, the squad has since added 13 more riders, including US Pro criterium champion Coryn Labecki, Pan-Am ITT winner Kristen Faulkner and Paris-Roubaix champion Alison Jackson.

Ewers has gone from “terrified, uncomfortable” to “excited, invigorated” in a condensed pro career of just two full seasons, taking a straight-line approach to a learning curve with overall top 10s at both the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and the Giro d’Italia Donne. Last year she was fourth overall at the eight-day Italian stage race, with a runner-up finish on stage 4 to Borgo Val di Taro.
