Rising Stars: Georgi, Koch, and Kool Commit to Team DSM-Firmenich

Alright, folks, it’s time to talk about Team DSM-Firmenich. They’re extending contracts like it’s a never-ending sprint to the finish line, and they’ve got some promising riders in their corner.

First up, we’ve got Pfeiffer Georgi, who turned pro in 2019 and has been on a steady climb ever since. In 2021, she had her ‘breakout’ year, and no, she didn’t break out of prison; she broke out on the road, taking two impressive wins, including one at the British national championships. This 22-year-old dynamo is like the Benjamin Button of cycling, riding with wisdom beyond her years. She’s become a tactical road captain and even snatched a WorldTour level win at the Classic Brugge – De Panne. And if that wasn’t enough, she recently dominated the British national title race. Keep an eye on this rising star; she’s got more wins up her jersey sleeves.

Now, let’s talk about Franziska Koch, who burst onto the scene in 2019. She’s only 23, but she’s already making waves. She’s got the versatility that would make a Swiss Army knife jealous – strong on the flats, killer on short climbs, and a mountain bike background to boot. They even nicknamed her ‘Franzerwagen’ after a crazy 140-kilometer pull at the Tour de France Femmes. She’s a bike handler extraordinaire, and she’s not afraid of rough terrain, as proven by her performance at Paris-Roubaix and the Antwerp Port Epic Ladies. She’s a force to be reckoned with, folks.

Last but not least, let’s give a warm welcome to Charlotte Kool, the new kid on the Team DSM-Firmenich block in 2022. She wasted no time settling in and immediately became the sprint sensation of the team. As the last lead-out rider, she showcased her speed and positioning skills. But here’s the kicker – when she got her chance as the finisher, she took it and ran with it, claiming two wins, including one at WorldTour level. Fast forward to 2023, and she’s on fire. She’s been winning left and right, starting with a bang at the UAE Tour and racking up a whopping 11 wins in the season. Her victories include the La Vuelta Femenina, four back-to-back wins at the Baloise Ladies Tour, and even the overall title at the sprinter-friendly RideLondon Classique. She’s got her sights set on a bright future, and she’s extending her stay with the team.

So, there you have it, folks – Team DSM-Firmenich is locking in their talent, and these riders are hungry for more victories. It’s like a never-ending soap opera of speed, strategy, and success on two wheels. Stay tuned for more two-wheeled drama!
