Extended EF Education-EasyPost contract for Ben Healy after standout spring

A standout spring for the latest star of Irish cycling has earned the 22-year-old Ben Healy a new, multi-year contract with his team, EF Education-EasyPost.
“I am super happy to announce that I have signed a new contract with the team and that I am going to be continuing to race in pink,” Healy said after the announcement was made public. “This team is just a nice environment to be in. It gives me a lot of opportunities to race the way that I want to race. It is just a happy team to be a part of.”
Repeatedly impressive performances throughout the Classics, including finishing on the podium at the Amstel Gold Race and Brabantse Pijl, alongside a fourth-placed finish at Liege-Bastogne-Liege and a stage win at the Giro d'Italia have seen Healy quickly become one of the most entertaining riders in the whole of the peloton.
“We’re very proud that Ben will stay with us and we can continue the journey together,” EF Education-EasyPost team manager Jonathan Vaughters said. “It’s always extra special when a talent that comes to you in the beginning of their pro career achieves something special and that you’re able to keep him on the team. He’s a truly nice person. He lends a helping hand in so many ways. I loved watching him do that feed at Roubaix. He’s a genuine, kind soul who’s a killer in the races but a selfless person in his day-to-day life.”

My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
