That&#8217;s certainly what Canyon-SRAM are betting on with this transfer, in any case.<\/p>\n<p>The team has suffered a major loss as Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney heads off next season, though in Antonia Niedermaier they appear to have a ready-made replacement, the 23-year-old having finished fourth at this year&#8217;s Tour de France Femmes as best young rider.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they&#8217;ll need to support Niedermaier&#8217;s Grand Tour ambitions in the coming years, and H\u00e4berlin looks like a good fit to slot into that role. Canyon-SRAM performance director Dan Fleeman called her a &#8220;strong climber with a very good aerobic engine, and the consistent ability to stay competitive when races become long and physically demanding,&#8221; naming her a rider who can support team leaders while taking her own opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that Steffi has more to unlock in terms of how she uses her climbing strengths in racing. With more experience and confidence, she can continue to improve her positioning and decision-making in the key moments, as well as her ability to follow and respond to the key moves,&#8221; Fleeman said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal is to help her to create more opportunities to compete for strong results herself,<\/p>\n<p>From SD Worx&#8217;s perspective, the loss of H\u00e4berlin isn&#8217;t a trajectory-altering move. She only raced in one Grand Tour for the team (the 2025 Giro), though might&#8217;ve been a useful rider had she been selected for any of the three races this year. She&#8217;ll certainly get more chances at her new squad, in any case.<\/p>\n<p>The team is rebooting for 2027, with Kerbaol coming on board as their new GC hopeful, while Dubau-Pr\u00e9v\u00f4t and Jansen will add to their climbing support squad. There&#8217;s a sense that there&#8217;s more to come from H\u00e4berlin, though, so there&#8217;s a chance that the Dutch squad could end up with some regrets at this loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-2e0f8c2a-bd9c-11f1-b3f9-db8326896cb5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>Subscribe to Cyclingnews for comprehensive race coverage of both the UCI Road and Gravel World Championships, alongside the final monument of the season, Il Lombardia.

That&#8217;s certainly what Canyon-SRAM are betting on with this transfer, in any case.<\/p>\n<p>The team has suffered a major loss as Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney heads off next season, though in Antonia Niedermaier they appear to have a ready-made replacement, the 23-year-old having finished fourth at this year&#8217;s Tour de France Femmes as best young rider.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they&#8217;ll need to support Niedermaier&#8217;s Grand Tour ambitions in the coming years, and H\u00e4berlin looks like a good fit to slot into that role. Canyon-SRAM performance director Dan Fleeman called her a &#8220;strong climber with a very good aerobic engine, and the consistent ability to stay competitive when races become long and physically demanding,&#8221; naming her a rider who can support team leaders while taking her own opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that Steffi has more to unlock in terms of how she uses her climbing strengths in racing. With more experience and confidence, she can continue to improve her positioning and decision-making in the key moments, as well as her ability to follow and respond to the key moves,&#8221; Fleeman said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal is to help her to create more opportunities to compete for strong results herself,<\/p>\n<p>From SD Worx&#8217;s perspective, the loss of H\u00e4berlin isn&#8217;t a trajectory-altering move. She only raced in one Grand Tour for the team (the 2025 Giro), though might&#8217;ve been a useful rider had she been selected for any of the three races this year. She&#8217;ll certainly get more chances at her new squad, in any case.<\/p>\n<p>The team is rebooting for 2027, with Kerbaol coming on board as their new GC hopeful, while Dubau-Pr\u00e9v\u00f4t and Jansen will add to their climbing support squad. There&#8217;s a sense that there&#8217;s more to come from H\u00e4berlin, though, so there&#8217;s a chance that the Dutch squad could end up with some regrets at this loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-2e0f8c2a-bd9c-11f1-b3f9-db8326896cb5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>Subscribe to Cyclingnews for comprehensive race coverage of both the UCI Road and Gravel World Championships, alongside the final monument of the season, Il Lombardia.

I see this next step as a great opportunity to keep learning and developing as a rider, and to gather more race days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">For SD Worx-Protime, H\u00e4berlin&#8217;s departure is the sixth for 2027, joining Marta Lach (Human Powered Health), Julia Kopeck\u00fd, Blanka Vas (both Lidl-Trek), Femke Markus (Visma-Lease a Bike), and Elena Cecchini (retiring).<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">To date, the Dutch team have brought in four riders in the shape of C\u00e9drine Kerbaol, Axelle Dubau-Pr\u00e9vot (EF Education-Oatly), Rachele Barbieri (Picnic-PostNL), and Eline Jansen (VolkerWessels).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-analysis\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Analysis<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"slice-container person-wrapper slice-container-person kiosq-b\" data-component-name=\"Slice:Person\" id=\"elk-32a292c8-bd97-11f1-b672-e557cbd62130\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"person person--separator\">\n<div class=\"person__avatar-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sZZXd8K4JqxjkRK7teBMFc-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"person__heading\">\n<div class=\"person__name-socials\"><span class=\"block person__name\">Dani Ostanek<\/span><\/p>\n<nav class=\"button-social-group person__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- person__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- person__social-buttons\">\nSocial Links Navigation\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"person__role\">Senior News Writer<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"person__bio\">\n<p>There&#8217;s clearly more to come from H\u00e4berlin, given she&#8217;s only raced at this level for two years. That&#8217;s certainly what Canyon-SRAM are betting on with this transfer, in any case.<\/p>\n<p>The team has suffered a major loss as Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney heads off next season, though in Antonia Niedermaier they appear to have a ready-made replacement, the 23-year-old having finished fourth at this year&#8217;s Tour de France Femmes as best young rider.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they&#8217;ll need to support Niedermaier&#8217;s Grand Tour ambitions in the coming years, and H\u00e4berlin looks like a good fit to slot into that role. Canyon-SRAM performance director Dan Fleeman called her a &#8220;strong climber with a very good aerobic engine, and the consistent ability to stay competitive when races become long and physically demanding,&#8221; naming her a rider who can support team leaders while taking her own opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that Steffi has more to unlock in terms of how she uses her climbing strengths in racing. With more experience and confidence, she can continue to improve her positioning and decision-making in the key moments, as well as her ability to follow and respond to the key moves,&#8221; Fleeman said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal is to help her to create more opportunities to compete for strong results herself,<\/p>\n<p>From SD Worx&#8217;s perspective, the loss of H\u00e4berlin isn&#8217;t a trajectory-altering move. She only raced in one Grand Tour for the team (the 2025 Giro), though might&#8217;ve been a useful rider had she been selected for any of the three races this year. She&#8217;ll certainly get more chances at her new squad, in any case.<\/p>\n<p>The team is rebooting for 2027, with Kerbaol coming on board as their new GC hopeful, while Dubau-Pr\u00e9v\u00f4t and Jansen will add to their climbing support squad. There&#8217;s a sense that there&#8217;s more to come from H\u00e4berlin, though, so there&#8217;s a chance that the Dutch squad could end up with some regrets at this loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-2e0f8c2a-bd9c-11f1-b3f9-db8326896cb5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>Subscribe to Cyclingnews for comprehensive race coverage of both the UCI Road and Gravel World Championships, alongside the final monument of the season, Il Lombardia.
