Kasia Niewiadoma has extended her contract with Canyon-Slam for another two years and will race for the Germany-based WorldTour team until the end of 2026.

Niewiadoma, a contender for the Tour de France Femme, considered moving to another team, but ultimately admitted that remaining with Canyon-Slam was the best option.

"I decided to stay with Canyon-SRAM Racing because the decision gave me a deep sense of happiness. Of course, I considered other options, but it didn't seem completely right.

"I have already spent quite a few years with this team and am part of the project to reach the top. We have learned a lot from each other over the last couple of years and I hope to continue to be part of the change that leads to multiple victories in the biggest races on the calendar. I believe the strength of our riders and the hard work of our entire staff has made our progress possible."

Despite the success of her professional cycling career, which began in Rabobank in 2013, Niwiadoma still has several race goals to check off her bucket list, including an overall win at the Tour de France and several major spring classics She said.

"We dream big together. I want to bring home the yellow jersey and I want to win the Strade Bianche and the Tour de Flanders. We want to wear the rainbow jersey as well as the gravel. With Canyon-SRAM Racing, I believe everything is possible."
