"I still don't feel like I've hit my full potential" - Chloé Dygert senses 2025 can a great year after perfect winter preparation

Chloé Dygert completed her Olympic medal collection in Paris last year but she's still somewhat sour about how the season went. 2025 needs to be different, she feels. Especially since Dygert, for the first time in a while, got through winter preparation without the slightest of issues.

"This is the first winter I've had injury-free and healthy. So to be here first race, and then to be healthy, I'm really happy and looking forward to being with the team," Dygert said in the Tour Down Under pre-race press conference.

"Last year I didn't really have the season that I wanted. I just wasn't able to be who I wanted to be in the races that I competed in - I just wasn't getting the results that I thought I should be getting with the work I was putting in. I'm happy to say we did a lot of reflection and trying to figure everything out, and we figured out the issues. So we're really looking forward to this season, and I do hope that it's going to be that kind of comeback season after five long years after my accident."

"There's always something going on," Dygert said. "They're just things that I have to live with and then go through - but that's just part of it. I can either falter or push through, so I'm pushing through as always."

"I want experience, I want to see where I can be fitness-wise. I still feel like there are a lot of unknowns with me as a rider. I still don't feel like I've ever hit my full potential just because of everything going on, injury-wise. This year, I really just want to focus on trying to be the best I can be on and off the bike, for my teammates, for myself, for the team in general."
