Australian track riders Georgia Baker and Alexandra Manly are set to rejoin Team BikeExchange with two-year contracts.
Baker and Manly were part of the GreenEdge Cycling team and, after enjoying success on track cycling, will turn their full attention to the road in 2022. Manly is a Team Pursuit and Points Race World Champion, while Baker is also a World Champion in the Team Pursuit.
"It's really special to be returning to GreenEDGE Cycling with my priority now being on the road," said Manly. "I have many friends in the team already, and it feels right to be returning to the team that has helped me develop over the years.
"I will keep in touch with the track, but it won't be what I prioritise, I want to focus fully on the road and see what I can achieve. I am most looking forward to being back racing regularly and chasing some new goals with the girls."
"I'm really excited to be joining GreenEDGE Cycling again, I was with the team only briefly in 2017, but it actually feels like a new and fresh start," added Baker. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back to the team, and I'm looking forward to working with the girls and having a successful season together.
"I'll be based in Europe for the entire season and setting myself up in Girona and Andorra. I'll be keeping in touch with the track throughout the year and will hopefully compete at the Commonwealth Games, but road will be a priority for me this year. I'm honestly unsure what to expect next season, I don't have a huge amount of experience in the Women's WorldTour Peloton, but I'm looking forward to the new challenge and learning lots to contribute to the team success."
