Ashleigh Moolman extends for one more year with AG Insurance - Soudal Quick-Step: "My power data is still improving from year to year"

Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio has extended her contract with AG Insurance - Soudal Quick-Step until the end of 2024, committing to at least one additional season as a professional after having set aside her retirement plans last year.  

"It always takes at least a year to find our place and to get to know each other," Moolman-Pasio told Cyclingnews prior to the announcement.

"That's why I believe it would be really great to have another year with the team because I think next year will be the year where, particularly in the Classics, we can get the results that we are aiming for. This season it was a little bit more difficult in the Classics because a lot of the teammates that I had in the Classics had never ridden those races before."

"My power data is still improving from year to year and I think the big steps that I took last year, during what should have been my final year with SD Worx, was actually due to Zwift," Moolman-Pasio said.

"Cycling on Zwift actually makes me physically stronger because it's a combination between gym work and cycling specific intervals… I believe this is what's really helped me to take these next steps in the past two years."
