The new season has officially begun for AG Insurance - Soudal with a strong start at the Australian National Championships, taking place from January 8 to January 12, 2025. Our rider, Anya Louw, represented the team in the individual time trial and delivered an impressive performance.

Anya shared her excitement after the race: "I am really happy with this podium! The race went to plan and my legs felt good on the day. It was difficult as the course was really high speed, but I think I got the best out of myself on the day. Looking forward to riding with my teammate Alex on Sunday in the Road Race!"
This podium finish marks the first for AG Insurance - Soudal in 2025, setting a promising tone for the season ahead.
