Jackson, 32, is one of the team’s key riders on the cobbles Saturday, alongside Belgian champion Lotte Kopecky who is leaving to join SD Worx in 2022. Even though the season isn’t over yet, 2021 has been one of the most successful of Jackson’s career. The rider has added a stage victory at the Simac Ladies Tour to her two Canadian titles, as well as a stage podium and points classification win at the Ladies Tour of Norway.
