Jolanda Neff joins the Rabobank-Giant team

Jolanda Neff is the great hope in Swiss mountain biking. This year, she became world champion, European champion and Swiss champion in the U23 class. Now the Rheintaler is switching to the professional camp and has signed a two-year contract with Team Rabobank-Giant.

She will be joining the team that has already helped Fabian Giger, among others, to his strongest season to date. Neff's focus in the coming year will be on the World Cup races, although the 19-year-old will continue to be classified in the junior class. She is already set as the favorite for the major championships over the next two years.

The Dutch team Rabobank-Giant is enabling Neff to make the transition to the professional ranks. She will also be taking part in a few road races next year alongside cycling icon Marianne Vos.
