After a dreamy 2024 in which they managed to win up to 3 arociris jerseys, Cannondale Factory Racing (CFR) starts a new stage in 2025 and does so with signings of all kinds. Swiss rider Jolanda Neff will be in charge of leading a team that includes Charlie Aldridge and welcomes Ana Santos, Cole Punchard, and Luca Martin.
Jolanda Neff signs with a Cannondale Factory Racing team full of new additions
Cannondale Factory Racing (CFR) begins a new Olympic cycle in 2025 with a new roster that combines established cyclists with young talents.
Youthful Scottish rider Charlie Aldridge has been with the team since 2023 and continues to establish himself as one of the biggest stars in elite men's cycling. After achieving two podiums in the World Cup, a silver medal in the Short Track World Championship, a fourth place in the XC, and an impressive eighth place in the Paris Olympics, Aldridge is ready to continue his rise on the world stage.
There is no doubt that Jolanda Neff is the star signing of the team for its new stage. The Swiss rider is a living legend of MTB and at 32 years old, she seems ready to return to the top after a couple of seasons plagued by health problems. Her enviable record includes 13 victories in the XCO World Cup, a World Champion title, Olympic gold in Tokyo, and much more. Jolanda's arrival marks a new chapter in her career and raises the profile of the team.
