“I want to keep racing” - Ruth Edwards extends contract with Human Powered Health until the end of the 2026 season

Having returned to the professional peloton at the beginning of the season after stepping away from the sport in 2021, Ruth Edwards has signed a two-year contract extension with her Human Powered Health team that will see her continue with the team until the end of the 2026 season.
Speaking in a press release from the team, the British-born American rider said “I wasn’t sure when I returned if it would be for a year or longer. The fact that despite the rough spring I’ve had so far I want to keep racing is just a true showing of how much I’m enjoying being part of this team and excited to grow with them and help them grow however I can”.
After failing to really impress in the Spring Classics, with her only strong result being a podium finish at the Trofeo Oro in Euro, Edwards is now looking ahead to the Vuelta a España Femenina, where she will lead Human Powered Health. On her goals for the rest of the season, she went on to say “my objectives as a rider are to continue to push myself to be my best athlete and with that, I hope I can get strong results among the best”.
The American team has also extended the contracts of Daria Pikulik, Wiktoria Pikulik and Lilly Williams this Spring, with their general manager Ro De Jonckere stating that “we are very happy with these contract renewals through 2026, as they fit perfectly in our strategy of building a top-tier women’s team over the next few years. Since last summer, we have put a lot of effort into improving our structure and the further professionalisation of our team. It is nice to see how this has not missed its effect and the riders feel confident that our team is the right environment for them to reach their full potential”.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself.
