Emma Norsgaard

Emma Norsgaard (Movistar) is a rider whose specialism is hard to define, but that hasn't stopped the 24-year-old from finding success on the road. Having joined Cervélo-Bigla straight out of the junior ranks in 2018, Norsgaard started out as something of a sprinter, but in recent years has diversified her talents. She’s now a strong one-day racer and a Tour de France Femmes stage winner.

Norsgaard is also often found working as a domestique, previously for Annemiek van Vleuten and in 2024 for Movistar's other climbers. Owing to her strong engine, Norsgaard is a good time trialist and a two-time national champion in the discipline.

After a stint without a big win, Norsgaard took a huge victory on stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in 2023, just holding off the bunch to survive to the line and take an emotional stage win.

In 2024, with no more Annemiek van Vleuten, Norsgaard may be given more leadership opportunities at Movistar, whether that's in the Classics or chasing stages in the biggest tours.
