Clara Koppenburg will leave WNT-Rotor and return to Bigla Pro Cycling where she will assume a leadership role during the 2020 season. The German climber will focus on making selection for the Olympic Games in Tokyo and the World Championships in Switzerland.

"My strengths lie in descending and of course climbing, particularly during stage races, and I'd also like to work more on my time trialling, which is a discipline I quite enjoy," Koppenburg said in a team statement.
