That road race proved it to me and kind of unlocked the power of my mind, which has really helped me this year, especially with positioning.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As for 2027 and her first season at WorldTour level, she said: &#8220;I want to be a really good teammate \u2013 that sounds a little bit stupid, but I really want to be there for the team.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I want to go to the races and do exactly what I\u2019ve been asked to do. I also want to be in a team that succeeds, and Canyon-SRAM does that very well, so I\u2019d love to be part of that atmosphere while learning from everyone much more experienced than me.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m very keen to put on the WorldTeam jersey and for it to actually be mine \u2013 that\u2019s so cool!
