Italian Martina Fidanza was seen as "a perfect fit" for Visma-Lease a Bike and signed the young sprinter to a two-year contract. Fidanza has spent the past three seasons with Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling and will move to the Dutch Women's WorldTour squad to start 2025.
The 24-year-old won back-to-back stages at Lotto Thüringen Ladies Tour this season, holding off seasoned veterans like Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek), Barbara Guarischi (SD Worx-Protime) and Tiffany Cromwell (Cayon-SRAM) in bunch sprints. She also had three podiums in one-day races in late spring, including a win at the GP Mazda Schelkens.
