Lorena Wiebes is reported to be transferring from Team DSM to SD Worx on a two-year deal through 2025. According to a report published in the Dutch news outlet AD.nl, Wiebes is set to end her current contract, which expires at the end of 2024, with Team DSM early and begin a new contract with SD Worx in 2023.

Cyclingnews contacted representatives from both Team DSM and SD Worx regarding the transfer but neither had replied at the time this story was published.

However, according to AD.nl, there was clause in the contract allowing her the opportunity to consider better offers from other teams. The news outlet speculated that Wiebes' reported transfer was due to a higher salary offer.

Wiebes is arguably the fastest sprinter in the Women's WorldTour at the moment, winning 15 races on the UCI's international calendar in 2022. She is currently racing at Tour de France Femmes, where she won the opening stage on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday and took the event's first leader's jersey.
