“I had a really good time with Team Tibco-SVB during the past three years, enjoyed racing in America and I am thankful for all the experiences I could make there. But now I am looking forward to new challenges in Europe and I can’t wait to start this next adventure soon!”

Team Director, Bob Varney spoke of Kathrin, “Kathrin is a super strong climbing Domestique, who impressed at the recent Tour d’Ardeche. True selfless, experienced, Domestiques are rare in the women’s peloton and we are delighted to have signed Kathrin.”
