Picnic PostNL will be staking all their bets on 2024 podium finisher Pfeiffer Georgi in Sunday’s edition of Paris-Roubaix, the team say, with the entire squad built around putting the 25-year-old in the best position possible to go for a top result.
Georgi has taken part in every edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes since it began in 2021, with her best results ninth in 2022, eighth in 2023 and third in 2024.

“For Paris–Roubaix, we have one clear goal: to support and guide Pfeiffer into the final in the best possible way. It’s a race where teamwork is absolutely crucial, and this group has already built strong connections by racing together frequently throughout the season.”
“If we can bring her into the decisive phase in the best possible condition, we give ourselves a strong opportunity to fight for a good result.”
Speaking back in 2024 when she secured her top result in the Hell of the North to date by outsprinting Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), Georgi described Paris-Roubaix as her “dream race to win.”
The Briton had had to fight hard for it, first staying ahead when Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-ProTime) launched a key late acceleration on the Camphin-en-Pévèle sector, then battling back alone across the Carrefour d’Arbre and before regaining contact alongside Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) 12 kilometres from the line.
