Jelena Erić
A BIG BRAIN FOR NEW HORIZONS. An intelligent cyclist with vast experience despite her youth, who can support the team’s goals in all terrains and also pursue individual goals. Jelena Erić, 24, is trusted by the Movistar Team to be a great asset through her talent for the classics, her racecraft and a very decent sprint, which allowed her raising her arms victorious in July 2019 for the first time in her career, at a stage of the BeNe Ladies Tour. A nice boost of potential as the Blues enter their third season together.
PERENNIAL CHAMPION. She’s worn the Serbian flag around the world, even well before her first contract with a UCI-registered outfit, thanks to her eleven road race and time trial titles obtained, almost uninterruptedly, since 2011 -aged just 15-. She’s also represented her country at six World Championships -two as a junior, then four as a pro-, a streak cut short in 2019 as bureaucratic problems made her visa to compete in Britain not arrive on time.
JUST LIKE ANOTHER SPANIARD. Love has led Jelena to move to Spain and live for most of the season in the Alicante province, which in practice erases any barrier that could make her adaptation to the team culture more difficult -the Serbian coming from another Latin team after racing for Alé Cipollini in 2019-, She also shared teams in 2018, at Cylance, with Sheyla Gutiérrez, who has supported her en route to a contract with the Telefónica-backed squad in their first year in the WorldTour.
