You’ve seen her dancing on social media, on the podium, and everywhere in between. Alison’s love of movement, whether it’s dancing, riding, or being outdoors, is infectious.

Alison earned the biggest win of her career to date in 2023 when she won Paris-Roubaix from a breakaway that she kept alive from the race’s early kilometers. She followed it up the next month by winning that year’s Canadian road race national championships in her native Alberta. Alison is a two-time Olympian and has raced ten times in the world championships, including a sixth place finish in 2021.

In 2024, she won a stage at the Vuelta, rode a strong Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift for her teammates, and competed for Canada in the Olympic Games. Just as important as her results was the leadership that she showed on the road.

For Alison, winning is important, but it doesn’t matter to her whether she’s atop the podium or if it’s one of her teammates. She’s more interested in making a difference in each race and contributing to the best result possible for the team.

Growing up on her family’s farm in Vermilion, Alberta, Alison had endless opportunities to exhaust her energy by helping with chores or playing with her siblings. But her mother noticed that Alison’s energy never seemed to dwindle, so she signed her daughter up for every sport available in her hometown of 4,000 people. Alison’s curiosity and innate athletic talent led her to take up swimming, compete provincially in gymnastics, go hiking in the Himalayas, and eventually to pick up an old bike that a former farmhand had left behind on her family’s farm. Fast forward to today and Alison is still driven by that same sense of curiosity, but this time she’s wondering just how far she can push her limits on the bike.

Harry Sweeny joined our team in 2024 and quickly became a key rider for us in the classics and grand tours. This will be the 26-year-old Australian’s fifth season as a pro.

Harry is still discovering his limits as a racer. As a under-23, he won Il Piccolo Lombardia and has since ridden the Tour de France, where, as a rookie, he finished third on a stage and rode onto the Champs-Élysées in the break, as jets trailed red, white, and blue streaks into the sky overhead. He has raced Paris-Roubaix in the wet and Liège-Bastogne-Liège alongside his friend, the former winner and local legend, Philippe Gilbert. Last year, he finished seventh on GC at the Tour of Luxembourg after riding hard for his teammates all season. Harry believes that his best is yet to come.

He came to cycling late. As a kid growing up in Brisbane, where his family moved when he was a child, he played soccer and rugby and did gymnastics and swam. He took up triathlon as a schoolboy, but focused on cycling when he was a junior and was recovering from a running injury. He started out racing local crits. His athleticism soon shone and he was picked to race the world championships in Richmond, Virginia for the Australian national team.

He moved to Europe to race, first for a small junior team in Belgium, and then for two years with the Australian Institute of Sport squad, which was then based in Italy, before moving back to Belgium for his final year as an U23. Those years opened up new worlds for Harry.

EF Education-EasyPost’s open-minded international character is a big draw for him. On the teams he has raced for in the past, he has often been one of the few foreigners. Our team is made up of riders and staff from dozens of nationalities. Most of them know what it is like to build a life far from home and can help with all of the little difficulties that come with that. Our multicultural make up helps us to expand our outlook and think beyond traditional ways of doing things too.

Harry is a lot more than a bike racer. He is a keen cook and he loves to go camping and hiking with his girlfriend, an environmental scientist, near their adopted home in Andorra. In the winters, he loves to ski. And he is a YouTuber.

Watch out for Harry on RaceTV. He brings an exciting perspective to our team.

Letizia is one of the most consistent riders in the peloton. In 2024, she racked up over a dozen top-ten results and helped control the peloton in order to allow teammate Clara Emond to escape and win a Giro d’Italia stage. Letizia’s biggest result to date is her 2019 stage win at the Giro d’Italia where she spent the day in the breakaway before sprinting to the stage win.

Riding bikes is almost a requirement to be in the Borghesi family. Letizia and her younger sister grew up hearing stories from her dad about his wins as a U23 racer and Letizia thought to herself, “I could do that.” She started racing as a 12-year-old and hasn’t looked back. Her parents still love to ride and you’ll often find them – and her dogs – at Letizia’s races, having driven their camper van from their family home in Italy to support their daughter.

Hailing from the mountains of northern Italy, Letizia is happiest when she is outside. She adores her home region of Trentino and you can often find her hiking to the nearby lakes when she’s not training on the road. She earned the silver medal in the 2022 Italian gravel national championships, her first ever gravel race, and has since also raced the gravel world championships. In the off season, Letizia enjoys competing in the local cyclocross races and was second in the 2024 Italian CX national championship. Given her experience in cyclocross, it’s not a surprise that her favorite races are the cobbled classics because she loves the steep climbs and is used to the harsh weather conditions.

Letizia completed her bachelor’s degree in sports science and she is currently studying for her master’s degree in biology/nutrition.

Marijn van den Berg started cycling when he was seven. His dad would take him and his older brother out on the roads near their home, which was just outside the Dutch city of Utrecht, where Marijn still lives. For a while, Marijn wasn’t sure if he had much talent for racing, but he enjoyed getting the most out of himself on the bike. He rose through the ranks, riding for Dutch teams, before moving to France in 2021. That season, he had a breakout year, winning eight races with the juniors, including two stages of the Tour de L’Avenir. He is a strong sprinter who can get to the finish of hard-fought hilly races.

In 2022, his first season in the WorldTour, he earned a number of top-ten places. In 2023, he put to use all that he learned from his rookie season, taking wins at Trofeo Ses Salines - Alcudia and stage wins at the Tour of Poland and La Route d'Occitanie - La Dépêche du Midi. He earned the sprinter's jersey at Région Pays de la Loire Tour and La Route d'Occitanie - La Dépêche du Midi and finished his first grand tour at the Vuelta a España.

2024 was Marijn’s best year yet. He won his first WorldTour race, out of a bunch sprint on the fourth stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, and won his first stage race, the Région Pays de la Loire Tour, where he also took home the sprinters’ jersey and two stage wins, as well as riding his first Tour de France. At the Tour, Marijn was consistently up there in sprints, duking it out with the fastest riders in the race.

He is going to keep training hard and working on his sprint so that next time he can beat them.

Max Walker is raring to go for his first pro season with EF Education-EasyPost. The soft-spoken 23-year-old from the Isle of Man pushed hard to earn his spot on our team. Second in the British national time trial championships last summer, and third in the corresponding road race a few days later, he caught our scouts’ eyes. 

They saw a versatile talent, who had already shown that he has what it takes to go up against the pros. Max raced the Volta ao Algarve last February, rubbing shoulders with WorldTour riders in his first pro-level stage race, before going on to win two stages in the Tour of Japan, a stage victory in the Sibiu Cycling Tour, and securing his two podium places at the British nationals.

This year, Max wants to continue to develop as a racer. He is set to become a key rider for us in the classics and a valuable teammate in stage races. He also wants to hone his time trial skills.

Long term, Max’s great dream is to ride the Tour. He got into the sport at Dot Tilbury’s racing league on the Isle of Man when he was a child and heard all of the stories of Manx legends like Mark Cavendish and Peter Kennaugh racing in the big leagues; the Tour is the biggest race of them all.

To get there, Max has moved to Europe to be closer to his teammates. He is already great friends with our Girona crew and riders who live in Andorra and is looking forward to lots of rides with them in the sun. It’s another journey for the British rider but one that he thinks will help him flourish within the team.

Mikkel Honoré loves to light up races in EF Education-EasyPost pink. The Dane is a very versatile rider. He has the horsepower and skill to shepherd our GC captains through a racing peloton during the hardest grand tour stages. A great climber with a strong finishing kick, who can hold his own on the cobbles, Mikkel has sprinted to stage victories at the Tour of the Basque Country and Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali—two of the hilliest stage races on the calendar. He is consistently at the front of the biggest races and always ready to do his turn for his teammates. We count on Mikkel to be there for us at crucial moments in grand tours and attack the finales of the great one-day races. He’ll go for more victories himself.

Mikkel lives in Switzerland, near the shores of Lake Como. He loves to travel and always has a book with him on the bus. Reading takes him away from the bubble of racing and training. He enjoys philosophy and novels and will always read up on the places where we race to better understand the people who live in the countryside that we pass through.

Mikkel is a great basketball fan. He and his wife will go watch a game together whenever they get the chance. He is also a polyglot and enjoys learning new languages.

Swiss road race champion Noemi Rüegg is still discovering her strength in the sport but her 2025 season got off to a roaring start. At the Tour Down Under, Noemi soloed to victory on the queen stage and then went on to win the overall general classification. She podiumed at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and had top ten results at Strade Bianche and Trofeo Alfredo Binda before she sprinted to third place at the first modern edition of Sanremo women.

Noemi is simply continuing the momentum she built in 2024 when she won her first professional race, the Trofeo Felanitx-Colònia de Sant Jordi, on the squad’s first-ever day of racing. She then backed up that win with another at the Swiss national championships. She went to the Paris Olympics and finished seventh in the road race, before racing the Tour and mixing it up in the sprints.

Noemi is a punchy rider who can get over hard climbs. She is still trying to find out where her limits lie.

She came to bike racing through her family. At first, her goal was simply to keep up with her brother who is five years older than her. Their dad was involved with a local cycling club and Noemi slowly grew more and more curious. When she was 13, she finished her first cyclocross race and was hooked.

She turned professional on the road as a 19-year-old, leaving her full-time job caring for disabled people in a home. She is a two-time Under-23 Swiss time trial national champion but her heart belongs to the classics. Noemi loves a tough course, the more chaotic, the better. She is not afraid to be aggressive in the peloton and loves the excitement and energy of a hectic race.

Her ultimate goals are to podium in one of the classics and to develop as a stage racer. This year could be hers.

The 23-year-old is embarking upon her third professional season as a bike racer and is just getting warmed up. Nina is a budding classics rider and she loves a hard day of racing in challenging weather conditions. Her primary goal for 2025 is to learn and grow as a rider, but she also hopes to play a role in the squad’s classics campaign.

Nina has earned a handful of top-tens in her first two seasons and is keen to continue developing. She loves to race aggressively and relishes a chance to spend the day in the break.

Nina has many fond memories of spending the summer with her family in their camper van as they followed the men’s edition of the Tour de France. That’s where she first got the idea to ride - she wondered how fast she could make it up the same iconic climbs she visited while watching the Tour.

Her ideal vacation is anything to keeps her outdoors and active. She adores hiking, backpacking, and bikepacking. Nina is currently in her second year of studying for her bachelor’s degree in psychology, so vacation time is admittedly limited these days!

After an active childhood, Sarah began racing triathlons as a university student just to try something new and was soon invited to a talent ID camp by that Australian Institute of Sport. She knew she had the engine to race with the best in the world so she didn’t let injuries or setbacks keep her from achieving her dream of becoming a professional athlete.

Today, Sarah is a seasoned veteran of the peloton and a mentor to her newer teammates. She won the Australian road national championship title in 2021 and has also earned wins at the Simac Ladies Tour, GP Cham-Hagendorn, the Tour of Britain Women, Geraardsbergen-Gooik, Navarra Elite Classics, and the Bretagne Ladies Tour.

In 2025, Sarah is excited to bring her knowledge and experience to the spring classics. She loves the intense mental focus that the classics demand and the physicality of holding her line on the punchy cobbled sectors.

Sarah still loves to try new things. Growing up in Sydney means she is well versed in warm weather sports but she is eager to try out speed skating, cross-country skiing, and alpine skiing. Learning remains a passion of hers. She earned her undergraduate degree in sports science and is currently working on her masters degree in clinical physiology.

Owain is one of just two Welsh speakers in the peloton and became the first Welsh-speaking athlete to win a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

While he loves to explore new places on long rides, his favorite place to ride is in the Peak District, preferably on a sunny day. For Owain, setting goals and giving his all in their pursuit is deeply satisfying. In the moment that a race kicks it up a notch, he finds motivation in reminding himself that the outcome will be worth the effort. Owain, the runner-up in the 2019 edition of Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne, loves racing the classics and grand tours.

When Owain is not on his bike, you’ll find him overseeing 5 Rings, his coffee company named for the Olympic rings. He is a passionate advocate for mental health and participates in Movember every year. He lives in Andorra.
