Lizzie Deignan is the greatest British female road cyclist of her generation. Her record stands up against some of the best racers of the last decade, and she remains at the top of the sport. The Yorkshirewoman burst onto the scene in the late 2000s, and has been racing ever since. She started out on the track, but road racing was always her goal.
The 35-year-old has returned to racing after spending the entirety of the 2022 season out in the run-up and aftermath of the birth of her second child, and had a lowkey 2023. 2025 will be the last year that Deignan races as a pro, having announced her looming retirement.
