Justyna Czapla Germany
Riding since she was ten years old, Justyna Czapla was in the U19 category when she realised she had the necessary determination and talent to pursue a career in pro cycling. Competing in road and track disciplines, the 18-year-old German rider describes her strengths as time trialling but loves climbing. Like many, she dreams of riding at the Olympics.
“CANYON//SRAM Generation has been my favourite since the beginning, so I can’t wait to start the new season soon. My goals for 2023 are to settle in well in the new team, gain as much experience as possible and achieve some good results for the team. I hope to contribute to the team’s success by taking experienced teammates as role models and learning new things from them, which I then try to implement in the best possible way. I want to become a successful and experienced rider in the future.”
