Richard Carapaz rumoured to have signed new deal to remain with EF Education-EasyPost until 2026

According to cycling market specialist Renaud Breban, Richard Carapaz has already extended his contract with EF Education-EasyPost until the 2026 season. Thus, the Ecuadorian will remain with the American team after two solid first campaigns, especially in 2024 where the rider bounced back from injury difficulties during the 2023 season and was the team's best rider.
The winner of the 2019 Giro d'Italia comes from signing a promising 2024 with victories in the Tour Colombia, the national time trial of Ecuador, Romandie and, above all, a stage victory and the mountains jersey in the Tour de France. Carapaz was one of the most exciting riders in the Tour and finally got his hands on stage win, and of course the yellow jersey which he wore proudly on stage 4.
He also finished the campaign fourth in the Vuelta a España, only narrowly missing out on the podium to Enric Mas, proving that he can still fight for podiums in grand tours at 31 years of age.
So this is very good news for EF Education-EasyPost, who have secured one of the world's best climbers for at least another two season.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
