After a fear of relegation possibility seemingly woke up the
EF Education-EasyPost in 2022, the team rose up to even greater performances in 2023, even if a headliner result was somewhat lacking due to combination of illness, injuries and bad luck that caught up to their leader
Richard Carapaz.
"We need to keep doing what we’ve done well," says sport director Charly Wegelius. "Playing on our strengths. We’ve made some good steps forward. A rider like
Ben Healy, we were super excited about what he did last year and want to see what he does going forward.
Neilson Powless also took some big leaps. And then we have riders who are something of the finished product, riders like
Alberto Bettiol and Richard Carapaz."
