Mitchelton-Scott announced Wednesday that they have signed Ane Santesteban as a key support rider for Amanda Spratt in the 2021 season. After racing for two years with Ceratizit-WNT, the Spanish climber will now focus on supporting Spratt during next season’s Ardennes Classics and the Giro d’Italia Internazionale Femminile.

“I am super happy to join the team because we do a lot of races together, I am always looking and it looks like a really good group. All of the girls and also the staff are like a family altogether, and when I spoke with the team it was a super nice conversation so I was really happy to join the team," Santesteban said.
