Coryn Labecki will officially retire from professional cycling at the end of this season but looks to have already pinned on a number for the last time as a professional, with her team, EF-Oatly-Cannondale, announcing Labecki’s retirement with a touching video posted on Instagram that included special messages from her teammates.

“Celebrating our crit dawg’s final road race with some special messages from the squad,” EF Oatly-Cannondale wrote.
