Cervélo Bigla Pro Cycling Team announced Monday the signings of two young Danish talents in Cecilie Ludwig and Marie Vilmann. Both riders come from Team BMS BIRN and have signed one-year contracts for the 2017 season.
Ludwig, 21, is the Danish national time trial champion. She has also won two stages and the overall in Tour de Feminin this season, while Vilmann played a key domestique role in those successes.
"I think this is one of the best women's teams and I think I can really develop here," Ludwig said. "The girls and the staff are really professional. I get inspired the way the team rides in the races; I really want to be part of that.

"I noticed them when the team rode Auensteiner-Radsporttage. That was a beautiful win because the whole team sacrificed for Ashleigh [Moolman-Pasio] and that was beautiful to see. The whole team was in the front pulling the peloton until they had nothing left and on the climb Ashleigh finished the work and that's a beautiful thing about cycling and teamwork.
"The team is special, it's a unit and they sacrifice for each other. I'm really looking forward to being in the climbs with Ashleigh and learning from Lotta and the others too. I think they could give Marie and I something of value to be great cyclists."
Vilmann added that she is looking forward to learning from riders like Moolman-Pasio to further her own development.
