Recently-retired Lizzie Deignan will be returning to the sport in a new capacity, taking up a sport director role at the Great Britain Cycling Team to work with the road squad at World Championships and other major events leading towards the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
Deignan, who retired in 2025, has so far spent her time away from the sport welcoming a third child and working as a pundit, but will now make her return to racing in the Great Britain team car.
