Through her results in cyclo-cross, Team SD Worx has caught sight of the young talent Schreiber. Among the elite, the Luxembourger has already posted several good results that can be characterised as exceptional, especially considering her age. For example, she finished second in the Azencross in Loenhout, while in the World Cups in Dublin and Val di Sole she finished fifth and sixth respectively. 

"Marie Schreiber has indicated to us that she also wants to make the switch to the road," indicates Team SD Worx sports manager Danny Stam. "Experience shows that good cyclo-cross riders usually also do well on the road. Where her potential lies, we will find out in the coming season. Given her physique, at first glance she looks like a climber. In the Ardennes block and races in the second row, we want to cautiously see which races suit her best." 

"It was really a surprise for me that Team SD Worx was interested," says Schreiber. "It's a huge boost to my confidence that they also see opportunities on the road. So this season I will have to figure out a bit on which terrain I can do best. Although this road season will mainly be about cyclo-cross. If you want to perform well in cyclocross in winter these days, you need a solid road season." So Schreiber will definitely remain active in cyclocross in the coming years. "Besides Blanka Vas, we now have a second great talent for cyclocross with Marie Schreiber," Stam continued. "It also fits in with our objectives to play a more prominent role in cyclocross. Vas and Schreiber have the potential to make strides in this field as well."
