Those two years were a good start to her pro career, and anyone with a keen eye on women&#8217;s cycling definitely took note of her rise, but she&#8217;s really announced herself in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Being older and more experienced obviously helps, but Moors doesn&#8217;t put her step up this year down to anything in particular, more just circumstances allowing her to show off the potential she&#8217;s always had.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think just the rhythm, not becoming sick, no bad luck,&#8221; she told <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>on Sunday. &#8220;Last year I had quite a lot of bad luck, but now I can build up and build up, and you see that it pays off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are the races that fit me well. Bigger climbs are still not my thing, but I&#8217;m happy I can do my thing in these Belgian Classic races.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"praise-from-all-angles-3\">Praise from all angles<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-644c8a9b-2620-43c5-b161-2d09e06ae4ea\">Though the youngest member of the Lidl-Trek team that started on Sunday, Moors is a highly respected and important part of the squad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; a tired but buoyed Emma Norsgaard told <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>in Wevelgem. &#8220;For sure she&#8217;s one of the biggest talents coming into women&#8217;s cycling at the moment. She&#8217;s super cool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s for sure a Classics rider, and mentally she&#8217;s just a real go-getter, so it&#8217;s amazing to be teammates with her, it&#8217;s really inspiring to see a young talent like her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moors also garnered respect and praise from the rider she nearly beat on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Fleur showed really good progression this year. She&#8217;s still super young and she&#8217;s doing really strong, also with these hills,&#8221; Lorena Wiebes said. &#8220;In Oetingen I knew also that she was able to follow when I attacked. I think it&#8217;s good to see young riders like Fleur becoming stronger and I think it was a good opportunity for her. She&#8217;s also quite explosive after a race like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The young rider has clearly been lifting the level in the team this Spring, but it&#8217;s a two-way street. On Sunday, she again thanked Teutenberg, the DS who told her stop being so hard on herself back when she started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ina told me in the meeting I needed to be in the attack so I was saying to myself &#8216;I need to do it!'&#8221;, Moors said. &#8220;She\u2019s really good on the radio and is also the reason why I made it on to the podium. It\u2019s so nice to have her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly nice for the German team to have her, too. Results have not come in abundance so far this season, but with Moors&#8217; second place on Sunday, they put themselves back in the headlines this Classics campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The most exciting thing is seeing what the 20-year-old can do next.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Get unlimited access to our unrivalled <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>2026 Spring Classics <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>coverage with a Cyclingnews subscription.

Those two years were a good start to her pro career, and anyone with a keen eye on women&#8217;s cycling definitely took note of her rise, but she&#8217;s really announced herself in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Being older and more experienced obviously helps, but Moors doesn&#8217;t put her step up this year down to anything in particular, more just circumstances allowing her to show off the potential she&#8217;s always had.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think just the rhythm, not becoming sick, no bad luck,&#8221; she told <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>on Sunday. &#8220;Last year I had quite a lot of bad luck, but now I can build up and build up, and you see that it pays off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are the races that fit me well. Bigger climbs are still not my thing, but I&#8217;m happy I can do my thing in these Belgian Classic races.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"praise-from-all-angles-3\">Praise from all angles<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-644c8a9b-2620-43c5-b161-2d09e06ae4ea\">Though the youngest member of the Lidl-Trek team that started on Sunday, Moors is a highly respected and important part of the squad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; a tired but buoyed Emma Norsgaard told <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>in Wevelgem. &#8220;For sure she&#8217;s one of the biggest talents coming into women&#8217;s cycling at the moment. She&#8217;s super cool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s for sure a Classics rider, and mentally she&#8217;s just a real go-getter, so it&#8217;s amazing to be teammates with her, it&#8217;s really inspiring to see a young talent like her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moors also garnered respect and praise from the rider she nearly beat on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Fleur showed really good progression this year. She&#8217;s still super young and she&#8217;s doing really strong, also with these hills,&#8221; Lorena Wiebes said. &#8220;In Oetingen I knew also that she was able to follow when I attacked. I think it&#8217;s good to see young riders like Fleur becoming stronger and I think it was a good opportunity for her. She&#8217;s also quite explosive after a race like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The young rider has clearly been lifting the level in the team this Spring, but it&#8217;s a two-way street. On Sunday, she again thanked Teutenberg, the DS who told her stop being so hard on herself back when she started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ina told me in the meeting I needed to be in the attack so I was saying to myself &#8216;I need to do it!'&#8221;, Moors said. &#8220;She\u2019s really good on the radio and is also the reason why I made it on to the podium. It\u2019s so nice to have her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly nice for the German team to have her, too. Results have not come in abundance so far this season, but with Moors&#8217; second place on Sunday, they put themselves back in the headlines this Classics campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The most exciting thing is seeing what the 20-year-old can do next.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Get unlimited access to our unrivalled <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>2026 Spring Classics <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>coverage with a Cyclingnews subscription.

Those two years were a good start to her pro career, and anyone with a keen eye on women&#8217;s cycling definitely took note of her rise, but she&#8217;s really announced herself in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Being older and more experienced obviously helps, but Moors doesn&#8217;t put her step up this year down to anything in particular, more just circumstances allowing her to show off the potential she&#8217;s always had.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think just the rhythm, not becoming sick, no bad luck,&#8221; she told <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>on Sunday. &#8220;Last year I had quite a lot of bad luck, but now I can build up and build up, and you see that it pays off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are the races that fit me well. Bigger climbs are still not my thing, but I&#8217;m happy I can do my thing in these Belgian Classic races.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"praise-from-all-angles-3\">Praise from all angles<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-644c8a9b-2620-43c5-b161-2d09e06ae4ea\">Though the youngest member of the Lidl-Trek team that started on Sunday, Moors is a highly respected and important part of the squad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; a tired but buoyed Emma Norsgaard told <em>Cyclingnews <\/em>in Wevelgem. &#8220;For sure she&#8217;s one of the biggest talents coming into women&#8217;s cycling at the moment. She&#8217;s super cool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s for sure a Classics rider, and mentally she&#8217;s just a real go-getter, so it&#8217;s amazing to be teammates with her, it&#8217;s really inspiring to see a young talent like her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moors also garnered respect and praise from the rider she nearly beat on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Fleur showed really good progression this year. She&#8217;s still super young and she&#8217;s doing really strong, also with these hills,&#8221; Lorena Wiebes said. &#8220;In Oetingen I knew also that she was able to follow when I attacked. I think it&#8217;s good to see young riders like Fleur becoming stronger and I think it was a good opportunity for her. She&#8217;s also quite explosive after a race like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The young rider has clearly been lifting the level in the team this Spring, but it&#8217;s a two-way street. On Sunday, she again thanked Teutenberg, the DS who told her stop being so hard on herself back when she started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ina told me in the meeting I needed to be in the attack so I was saying to myself &#8216;I need to do it!'&#8221;, Moors said. &#8220;She\u2019s really good on the radio and is also the reason why I made it on to the podium. It\u2019s so nice to have her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly nice for the German team to have her, too. Results have not come in abundance so far this season, but with Moors&#8217; second place on Sunday, they put themselves back in the headlines this Classics campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The most exciting thing is seeing what the 20-year-old can do next.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Get unlimited access to our unrivalled <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>2026 Spring Classics <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>coverage with a Cyclingnews subscription.
