Coryn Labecki rode her last race as a professional cyclist this week at the Kreiz Breizh Elites Femmes (1.1). Her team EF-Oatly-Cannondale announced this in an
Instagram post.
The departure of the 31-year-old American comes as a somewhat surprise. Especially since Labecki announced at the end of last year that she would leave Jumbo-Visma after two years, because she wanted to win more again. The Olympic Games were seen as a big goal, but Labecki did not make the selection for that.
Labecki's greatest successes date from her time at Team Sunweb, the predecessor of dsm-firmenich PostNL. In 2017 she stood on top of the cycling world, when she won the Tour of Flanders, Trofeo Binda and the RideLondon Classic. The expectation is that she will now focus on riding criteriums in America, a discipline in which she is the reigning national champion.
