This winter has been a busy one in the transfer market with some of the biggest names in women's cycling switching squads for the 2017 season. Among those that have sought new pastures are Olympic champion Anna van der Breggen, and former world champions Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and Ellen van Dijk.
Cyclingnews has put together a list of nine riders to watch out for as they look for success at their new teams.

The arrival of Ferrand-Prevot will certainly boost the ranks of the Canyon-SRAM team for 2017. In the team's previous guise as Velocio-SRAM, they were the dominant force in the sport but this season saw them challenged and bettered by Boels-Dolmans, and they needed to strengthen their squad for next year.
With her world titles on the road, mountain bike and cyclo-cross, Ferrand Prevot seemed destined for domination. However, she has really struggled since then, suffering a tibial plateau stress fracture over the winter and attempting to comeback too soon. She has learned her lesson, but she says that she won't confine herself to just one discipline. 2017 will be an important year for the French rider, who will be hoping to put this one behind her.
