Jolanda Neff to join Alpecin-Premier Tech / Fenix-Premier Tech

Former Olympic and UCI World Champion Jolanda Neff will join Alpecin-Premier Tech / Fenix-Premier Tech from the 2027 season.

The Swiss cross-country star won cross-country Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020 and a rainbow jersey at the 2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. She is also a three-time UCI World Cup overall winner, with 17 career UCI World Cup race victories to her name.

Neff recorded three top 10 finishes in the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series this season, demonstrating that she remains a major force at the highest level of mountain bike racing.

She joins fellow stars Puck Pieterse, Samuel Gaze and Mathieu van der Poel on the team's mountain bike roster.

The move marks a new chapter in Neff’s career as she targets further success in cross-country racing. Her experience in road racing and cyclocross also makes Alpecin-Premier Tech / Fenix-Premier Tech’s multi-discipline set-up a natural fit, as she looks to continue her development and share her experience with younger riders.
