CANYON//SRAM Racing is thrilled to announce the addition of the superb Italian rider Chiara Consonni to its roster for the upcoming season. The talented sprinter has signed a two-year contract with the team through to the end of 2026.
Consonni is one of the world’s top-ranked riders and has consistently proven herself to be a leading sprinter. With victories across key races like Dwars Door Vlaanderen and Flanders Diamond Tour, she has established herself as a rider known for her explosive speed and tactical awareness. Consonni has an impressive CV, as a three-time stage winner at the Giro d’Italia who has also won stages at the UAE Women, Tour of Chongming Island and Simac Ladies Tour.
“CANYON//SRAM Racing has been my dream team since I was young,” said Consonni. “To be part of this team in the next years will be a special feeling. Even if I have a lot to learn, I hope to contribute to the team with my experience in the sprint and lead out.”
The Italian rider brings a wealth of energy and ambition to CANYON//SRAM Racing. Having recently competed in her first Olympic Games, winning a gold medal in the Madison on the track, Consonni is confident and ready to take on new challenges.
“Some weeks ago, I took part in my first Olympics and I came back home with the best result possible. After this experience, I’m more confident in myself. This victory motivates me to never give up and to give one hundred percent in every situation.”
Consonni has clear goals for the upcoming season with the team. “My objectives for the upcoming seasons are to improve as a person and as an athlete and to win a classic race in the North, which are also my favourite races. I think this team aligns with my goals because it’s full of people with a lot of experience and motivation.”
As a highly driven rider, Consonni is ready to bring her positive energy to the team. “I’m an extrovert and solar person with a lot of energy, and I hope to become part of the group and share my good vibes with the riders and staff. As one of the best teams in the world, I’m sure CANYON//SRAM Racing has the environment and resources I need to achieve my goals,” Consonni said.
