Jolanda Neff is starting a new chapter. Her new team is called Cannondale Factory Racing. Neff is not the only reinforcement to the previous Charlie Aldridge. Frenchman Luca Martin, Portuguese rider Ana Santos and Canadian Cole Punchard will also be chasing success on the bikes with the Lefty suspension forks.

The Cannondale Factory Racing Team announced three prominent departures at the end of 2024: Alan Hatherly, Mona Mitterwallner and Simon Andreassen. Only the super-talented Charlie Aldridge remained in the team. However, with Jolanda Neff, Ana Santos and Cole Punchard, the succession has now been resolved. While Neff has an impressive palmaraes - including Olympic champion in 2021 and world champion in 2017 - and plenty of experience, Martin, Santos and Punchard are promising young athletes. Luca Martin was U23 World Champion last year, Ana Santos is the reigning Portuguese champion in cross country, cyclocross and gravel, while Cole Punchard won the U23 World Cup race in Lake Placid.

To present its new additions, the Cannondale team is releasing two short strips.
