Vision of AG Cycling

Women’s cycling deserves a future where talent can fully flourish. At AG Insurance - Soudal, we proudly focus on growth and development, not only for our 19 elite riders, representing no less than 10 different nationalities, but also through our U23 team, which consists of 13 riders from 4 different nationalities. This U23 team provides an essential platform for young athletes to gain experience, adapt, and gradually prepare themselves for the absolute top. Moreover, it offers them the possibility to make the jump to the elite team, ensuring a seamless transition as they grow within the sport.

The real story began in 2022 when Patrick Lefevere, who served as CEO of a Belgian men’s team that has represented the pinnacle of cycling for many years until 2024, established a connection between his team, Soudal Quick-Step, and NXTG Racing. Thanks to the involvement of AG Insurance as the main sponsor and the valuable support of all other sponsors and partners, including loyal partners such as Soudal, it became possible to create a solid structure that elevates women’s cycling to a higher level.

In 2024, AG Insurance also became the main shareholder of the team, marking a milestone that underscores their commitment and vision. As an organization that stands for being a "Great Place to Grow," this perfectly reflects our own values: Dream, Dare, Grow.

In that same year, Jurgen Foré was appointed as the CEO of the women’s team AG Insurance - Soudal, taking on the daily management of the project and contributing his expertise and vision to further develop the team. At the same time, a Board of Directors was established to inspire the team and outline a clear vision for the future.

We believe in opportunities: to dream big, to dare to grow, and ultimately to excel. With professional support, carefully crafted race programs, and the right guidance, we are building an environment where our riders can reach their full potential.

From Dream to Reality

Our ambition to compete in the Women's World Tour has now become a reality. With pride, we achieved the prestigious World Tour status in 2024, granting us automatic access to the biggest races in the world, such as the Tour de France Femmes, Giro d’Italia Women, and other key events. This is not only crucial for visibility but also offers incredible opportunities for our riders to showcase their talent on a global stage.

Reflecting on the 2024 season, our team celebrated numerous victories across different continents, further enhancing our visibility and highlighting the strength of women’s cycling. Kim Le Court won the final stage of the Giro d’Italia Women, as well as the National Championships of Mauritius in both the ITT and Road Race. Ally Wollaston claimed a stage in the Santos Tour Down Under and secured two victories in the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya Femenina. Sarah Gigante triumphed in the final stage of the Santos Tour Down Under, where she was crowned Queen of Willunga Hill and claimed the overall classification. Mireia Benito became Spanish National Champion in the ITT, and Justine Ghekiere won a stage in the Tour de France Femmes, where she also took the polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification, adding to her mountain jersey win in the Giro d’Italia Women.

With races spanning Europe, Oceania, Africa, and beyond, our program emphasizes global visibility, which is vital for our sponsors and the growth of women’s cycling.

But our mission goes further: we continue to build a strong talent pool with our U23 team and a carefully developed race program tailored to each rider. In doing so, we not only create opportunities for our own teams but also aim to inspire other teams to contribute to a brighter future for women’s cycling.

Growing Together

Now that we are part of the Women's World Tour, our U23 riders have the unique opportunity to race alongside the elite team in selected UCI events. This integration is a key element of our vision: gaining experience, learning in a challenging environment, and growing stronger as athletes.

Just as with the men’s teams in the World Tour, we are building a strong foundation that not only helps our riders progress but also contributes to the growth of the sport as a whole. We believe in a future where women’s cycling grows in professionalism, competition, and opportunities.

With this approach, we aim not only to achieve short-term success but also to contribute to a sustainable and inspiring sport for generations to come. Dream. Dare. Grow.
