EF Education-Oatly signs Dutch triathlete Maya Kingma, will make debut at Giro
EF Education-Oatly has announced the signing of Dutch triathlete and two-time Olympian Maya Kingma with immediate effect.
"Moving to road cycling has always been in the back of my mind," Kingma said in the team's announcement. "I would like to have more hills and changing dynamics. In road cycling, there are so many different types of races and tactics play a much bigger role. Those are the parts of racing that I really love."
Kingma has competed triathlon competitively for eight years, earning a gold medal at the World Triathlon Series and attaining three top-10 finishes at the World Champs. And now, six months after first joining the American ProTeam at a Mallorca training camp, the 29-year-old is set to make her road racing debut at the upcoming Giro d'Italia Women (6-13 July).
