Canyon-SRAM-Zondacrypto have announced that Zoe Bäckstedt has renewed her contract with the team until the end of the 2028 season.
The Welsh racer joined the German squad at the end of the 2023 season after turning pro with EF Education-Tibco-SVB the same year, signing a deal until the end of 2026. Her new contract adds two years to her stay.
Bäckstedt is the reigning under-23 time trial world champion and a former under-23 cyclo-cross world champion. This season, she has enjoyed her best spring on the road to date, with a time trial win at the Vuelta a Extremadura, followed up by top fives at the Dwars door Vlaanderen and Tour of Flanders and 12th at Paris-Roubaix Femmes.

“I’m really excited to be extending my contract with Canyon-SRAM-Zondacrypto and to be staying for another two years,” Bäckstedt said in a team press release.
At 21, Bäckstedt is among the most promising young riders in the women’s peloton. Last season, she won the British national time trial title, plus the Baloise Ladies Tour and a time trial stage at the Simac Ladies Tour.
Canyon-SRAM-Zondacrypto director of sport Rolf Aldag said that Bäckstedt’s contract extension is an “important but logical step to show that we have a long-term plan and commitment to our riders.”
