There may be a level of uncertainly over the future of his team but Russell Downing (Cult Energy) isn’t ready to hang up his wheels just yet.
The 36-year-old British pro is out of contract this season and speculation surrounds the future of the Cult Energy team, who could fold in a matter of weeks if they fail to secure additional sponsorship.
That hasn’t affected Downing who, with a career spanning three decades, has been in a similar situation on a number of occasions.

“I’d like to stay at this level and I’m enjoying racing on the continent again. I’ve had a few good placings this year and I’ve done work for others. It’s a great mixed team and fingers crossed. I’m not ready to retire yet,” Downing told Cyclingnews.
The former Team Sky rider is currently competing at the Arctic Race of Norway, a race he took part in two years ago when at NetApp-Endura. The speculation surrounding his current team’s future has not been distraction, he told Cyclingnews, with racing his first priority.
“It’s only what you see in the press but everyone in the background staff is trying to pull it together and keep it on the road for next year. That would be great if we could keep everyone together an in contracts because it’s a really nice time and everyone seems really happy.
