LONDON — British cyclist Lizzie Deignan, a former world champion and the only woman to win the ‘triple crown’ of monuments, will retire at the end of next season. Deignan was the first British athlete to win a medal on home soil at the 2012 London Olympics, earning silver in the women’s road race. Her Lidl-Trek team said in a statement on Friday she agreed on a one-year contract extension and will put an end to her almost two-decades-long career at the end of the 2025 season. I’m really happy to go full circle and be somebody that helps other people win bike races again,” she said.
