Pfeiffer Georgi will leave Team Picnic-PostNL for UAE Team L'IMAD from the 2027 season on a three-year deal, ending eight seasons at one structure through its rebrands from Team Sunweb to Team DSM to Picnic-PostNL. She takes this step months after being handed the captain's role for 2026 — loyalty to a team that built her up has limits.
Georgi joined as Team Sunweb in 2019 and stayed through the switch to Team DSM before the operation became Picnic-PostNL — the same team, several names, one rider. She was still negotiating this exit while accepting a leadership role for the 2026 Classics campaign, which points to friction rather than a simple hunt for a bigger contract. After fracturing her neck and breaking her hand in a 2024 Tour de France Femmes crash, a change of environment reads as a deliberate reset, not a reward for results.
