Caroline Andersson joins AG Insurance-Soudal from Liv AlUla Jayco, and this isn't a domestique signing. She finished 2nd overall at Tour of Guangxi 2025 and 4th at the UCI Road World Championships 2025 — numbers that put her on a breakout trajectory, not a support-role ceiling.
AG Insurance-Soudal built its 2026 roster around Kim Le Court-Pienaar, fresh off becoming the first African rider to win a women's Monument at Liège–Bastogne–Liège 2025. Andersson's profile — competitive across one-day races, stage races, and cyclocross — gives the team a rider who can both protect Le Court-Pienaar's ambitions and cash in results of her own. A top-4 world championship finish and a near-podium at Guangxi are not the résumé of a helper; they're the résumé of someone the team will need to deploy, not just deploy for others.
