Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Tour de France Femmes and a ‘one team’ perspective – what’s next for Visma-Lease a Bike Women?

Despite being founded in 2021, the Visma-Lease a Bike women’s team went through something of a rebirth in 2024: most of the managing and directing staff changed and an emphasis was placed on bringing the women’s squad closer to the all-conquering men’s team.

There was not a dramatic change in the rider line-up, but that seems to be coming for 2025 as the team’s redevelopment continues. They’re saying goodbye to stalwarts Anna Henderson and Riejanne Markus, and welcoming one of the most talked-about transfers in recent years as Pauline Ferrand-Prévot makes her return to road racing after focusing on mountain biking for the last four years.
