Marta Cavalli joins FDJ-Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope
Friday October 2
Marta Cavalli has signed for women’s world tour team FDJ- Nouvelle Aquitaine- Futuroscope for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
The young Italian all rounder with a talent for fast finishes was the national champion in 2018 at 20 years of age. For the coming seasons she takes a step up to the world tour level with the French team.
“I am really happy to be part of this great team. That’s the time to face a new experience to improve further both as a sport-woman and as a person. I am sure I have found those who share my plans and my goals for the future, putting myself in the best conditions to succeed. I am really grateful to Valentino Villa and to the Valcar Team who accompanied my career so far, making me grow within a family, thanks also to the managers of Fiamme Oro - State Police for their constant support in my daily activity.”
As the only French women’s world tour team, General Manager Stephen Delcourt is focused on growing and strengthening the team for the 2022 inaugural modern women’s Tour de France.
“Marta is one of the brightest riders of her generation. She has worn the U23 leader's jersey in the Women’s World Tour standings many times.
We have been following her for several years and her ability to perform on all terrains is impressive.We quickly found an agreement because we share the same values and the same ambitions.
Our team has reached a milestone in 2020 but we want to grow even more in order to build the strongest possible team for the future Women’s Tour de France in 2022.The squad will therefore be 13 cyclists for the 2021 season, a stable, young, ambitious squad to conquer the biggest races in the world in order to make our colours shine.”
Alongside Cavalli’s ambitions on the road, she is also on the Italian track cycling team, with her eyes on the Tokyo Olympics.
“We take a holistic approach to all of our athletes on the team, and for Marta, building her career on the track will ultimately reflect good form and results on the road. We are happy to give her the opportunity to pursue Olympic success in 2021 with her national team, and we are on the same page to create a balanced race program to benefit both disciplines”
The first road race goals for Cavalli in the 2021 season will be the Spring Classics, after settling in to the new team.
“The primary goal is to establish a great feeling with the whole team: with my new teammates and with the staff. After that important step, I’ll be able to focus on training. During the winter I’ll build with the team a strong condition for the Classics. My goal is to honour those who believe in me and who have given me this fantastic opportunity”
