Lizzie Deignan announced she would retire at the end of 2025 back in November of 2024, but the former world champion will hang up her wheels sooner than expected. The Lidl-Trek road captain announced on Thursday that she and her husband Phil Deignan are expecting their third child in February of 2026, and that her career as a professional road cyclist ended with the Copenhagen Sprint in June. Deignan has already announced one of her plans for 2026: joining Ned Boulting and David Millar on the Never Strays Far podcast.
