Retour en détail sur la première saison WorldTour de Lewis Askey, et sur les raisons de sa prolongation : 🇫🇷 equipecycliste-groupama-fdj.fr/actualites/etr… 🇬🇧 equipecycliste-groupama-fdj.fr/en/news/to-be-…
Lewis Askey has extended his contract with Groupama-FDJ for three more seasons. The young Briton will ride for the team until 2025.
“I recently signed a new contract with the team until 2025,” said Askey. It was his first time with a WorldTeam, and surprisingly, he was able to adapt rather quickly and improve upon it. “I think I was performing a bit better than they were expecting for my first year in the WorldTeam. There is also one week where I nearly won two races in a row,” explains Askey.
He continues, “I think they saw the potential in me, and that’s actually why I have been with the team since the development program. They didn’t want me going off anywhere else. For me also, it’s really where I see myself taking a solid start to my career. A three-year contract brings security and means I can just concentrate on racing my bike. I can just focus on getting better and improving. That really was the right thing to do. It was fully signed at the end of the year, but the talks came already after the Classics.”
Now that he has secured the contract, he can focus on delivering results. A gold medal would be a nice addition to his accomplishments. “I would love to get a win next year. This year, I did not make it to the front split in the Classics, I would always be with the peloton. On a few occasions, I nearly made it to the small group that fought out for the win. Next year I’d like to make that group in the Classics,” concluded Askey.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
