Lorena Wiebes is known as the best sprinter in the peloton, but she also gets better in the classics every year. Last spring, in addition to stages in the UAE Tour Women, she also won the classics Miron Ronde van Drenthe, Gent-Wevelgem and Scheldeprijs, while finishing second in the Amstel Gold Race. ‘I am happy with the progression I have made with this team. That was one of the reasons why I chose to sign here. I wanted to develop myself and be more than just a sprint star. Last season went really well with 22 wins.’

‘It was a logical choice to break open my contract until 2028. I feel completely at home in this team. I have been riding for this team since 2023. I notice that I have made the necessary steps in this environment and thanks to the team's good guidance. That I have become a lot stronger has shown last spring with the victory in Gent-Wevelgem as the highlight. The fact that the team has a lot of confidence in me also strengthens me.’

For Wiebes, it is also important that world champion Lotte Kopecky has extended her contract with Team SD Worx - Protime until 2028. ‘I get on well with Lotte. In the races, we strengthen each other. How Lotte occasionally pulls the sprint for me is unprecedented. In the classics, I pull up to her. It's a great prospect that we will still be in a team together for the next four years.’
 
Sports manager Danny Stam: ‘Lorena is a real winner. As a sprint star, she knows how to win the necessary races, but we also see her making huge strides in the classical work. She is eager to learn and get stronger. In addition, she fits well in the team. She is often a mood creator in the team.’
