You mentioned that the Olympics had been a big goal. What are your goals now? 

Did you get to explore much in Colombia when you were there for the Continental Championships?

In Noemi’s first two seasons at EF Education-Oatly, the former Swiss national champion has started by winning her first race of the season: in 2024, she outsprinted the field at Trofeo Felanitx-Colònia de Sant Jordi to take the first ever win for the squad. Then in 2025, at the Tour Down Under, Noemi soloed to victory on the queen stage and then went on to win the overall general classification. She podiumed at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and had top ten results at Strade Bianche and Trofeo Alfredo Binda before she sprinted to third place at the first modern edition of Sanremo women. Noemi finished the 2025 season with another podium, this time at Tre Valli Varesine.

From Harvard to venture capital to double Olympic Gold, Kristen Faulkner’s path has been anything but conventional. But one thing is a constant – her rigorous pursuit of excellence.

Before she became a cyclist, the double Olympic gold medalist and back-to-back US road race champion earned her bachelor’s degree in computer science at Harvard, where she competed on the university rowing team.

It’s hard to pin Cédrine down. She is from France but often trains in Andorra, though she spends a lot of time traveling around Europe in her van in search of adventure (surfing in Portugal is one of her favorites). She prefers spontaneity to plans. You’re more likely to find Cédrine out on the dance floor than going to bed early. She is a dreamer, but she also takes action.

Henrietta fell in love with the sound of cycling. She heard the distinct sound of cleats walking on concrete and knew this was the sport for her. She then convinced her parents to let her take up the sport and the rest is history. She quickly discovered she was a powerful rider who excelled on climbs.
