Veteran SD Worx-Protime racer Elena Cecchini has signed up for one final season in the peloton with the Dutch squad, rounding out a professional career dating back to the 2011 season.
The Italian serves as the road captain on SD Worx, with whom she has raced since 2021 after a move from Canyon-Sram. The early years of her career were spent with a variety of teams, including MCipollini and Lotto.
“Initially, I thought 2025 would be my farewell, but I still feel the motivation to continue. The fire is still burning. I want to give it my all one more time – in every race, at every moment,” Cecchini said as the team announced her signature on one last deal.
She said that she had conversations with SD Worx sports manager Danny Stam about her future, resulting in her resolving to continue for another year – retirement is a decision she wouldn’t be able to take back, after all.
