In 2026, Ronja celebrates a remarkable milestone: 20 years of bike racing. She lined up for her first race at just five years old—unable to change gears, spinning a high cadence, and winning as the only girl in her category.
That moment sparked a lifelong passion for the sport. Growing up without a family car, the bike wasn’t just a tool for racing but a way of life. Naturally multi‑athletic, Ronja explored many sports and once dreamed of becoming a professional handball player. Today, climbing remains her favourite way to unwind away from racing. Based in Biel, Switzerland, Ronja balances elite competition with her studies, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Sports in Magglingen. Her breakthrough season came in 2023, when she claimed the overall U23 UCI World Cup titles in both XCC and XCO. In 2025, she firmly established herself in the elite ranks, earning three XCC UCI podiums—two from the back row—along with a fourth‑place finish at the XCC UCI World Championships and standout XCO Top‑10 results, including seventh in Lake Placid and eighth in Pal Arinsal, Andorra. Known for her explosive sprint, sharp race tactics, technical skill, and powerful climbing, Ronja is as competitive as she is grounded. When she’s not racing, you’ll likely find her relaxing in a hammock with a cup of maté tea—and always happy to share one.

The battle for the UCI Enduro World Cup titles took a dramatic turn in Aletsch Arena–Bellwald as overall men’s leader Alex Rudeau was disqualified and women’s contenders Raphaela Richter and Winnifred Goldsbury were forced to withdraw, reshaping both championship races. While Sławomir Łukasik seized control of the men’s event and Leif Rogers moved into pole position for the overall lead, Ella Conolly delivered a commanding performance to move within touching distance of securing back-to-back UCI Enduro World Cup titles.
