EF Education-EasyPost and Neilson Powless have agreed to a long-term extension to their current deal, with the American re-signing until 2027 with Jonathan Vaughters' team.
“It is a pretty awesome feeling,” Powless says to EF Education-EasyPost's official website. “I joined the team in 2020 and have just grown so much here and developed so much as a rider and a person. Every year, I have been getting better with this team and its support and structure. It was pretty clear that this place felt like the best place for me to succeed and continue to grow. I just feel so at home here and am really happy with the direction of my career and the people that I have around me to support that.”
Powless impressed earlier this year at the Tour de France, wearing the polka-dot jersey for a number of days after repeated breakaway adventures. “I think this team just really knows how to get the best out of each person,” Powless continues. “This team has a lot of different kinds of people, from all over the world. I think we are probably the most international team in the WorldTour and being able to pull success from people from all over the globe, from so many different places, bringing them all together on one team and getting the most out of them as a person and as an athlete and as a team player, is a pretty difficult task, but the people that we have who facilitate that and try to make it a reality have figured out a great way to do it."
“I would like to win a cobbled classic,” he concludes. “I would like to win a Monument and keep going after world championships every year. This is an Olympic year coming up as well. I have a lot of one-day racing ambitions, and then, obviously, there is the Tour de France. You always want to show up to the Tour with the best form you can to race the best guys in the world when they are at their peak fitness, but the cobbled classics and the Monuments are special races in their own right. It feels like I am knocking at the door of one of those races, so I hope I can nail one next year.”

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
