“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”.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
