Zoe Backstedt has signed with EF Education-TIBCO-SVB. The Welsh rider will race both road and cyclocross with the team.
“It took me a couple of years to get into it, meaning I really hated cycling until I was about 10. And now I love it to bits. I absolutely love it,” said Backstedt. Despite being only 17 years old, she has already established quite a career in cycling.
Cycling is in her DNA, with every member of her family directly involved in professional cycling. “My dad won Paris-Roubaix, so for as long as I can remember, he’s ridden a bike. My mum was the British national champion in the road race and has a track bronze medal in the sprint as a junior. My sister has Worlds medals and now rides in the WorldTour. Cycling is in my blood,” said Backstedt.
“It gives me a lot of freedom, riding. It gives me that bit of space to do what I’m doing. It’s just been nice to have the support from everyone,” concluded Backstedt.
