"I am really lucky that I can fall back on Sylvan Adams" - Michael Woods will link the rest of his career with Israel-Premier Tech

Michael Woods celebrated his 37th birthday last month, but the Canadian is certainly not thinking about quitting just yet. The explosive climber already knows which outfit he will wear for the remainder of his career.
"I have made an agreement with Sylvan Adams that I will end my career racing for Israel-Premier Tech," Woods reveals. He has been racing for the Israeli formation since 2021 and will not change employers in the autumn of his career. "I am really lucky that I can fall back on Sylvan Adams," he praises the team boss.
"He is one of the main reasons why I am a professional cyclist. Sylvan has supported me since 2013 and has played a major role in my career," Woods said through his employer.
"A little over a year ago we sat down to discuss an extension of my contract. We finally agreed that I will end my career in Israel-Premier Tech. I'll stop when I feel I have nothing left to offer. I don't want to race if I am no longer able to perform at the highest level. I am still enthusiastic about the race."

- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
