Cordon-Ragot renews with Wiggle Honda

Wiggle Honda announced Friday that their French rider Audrey Cordon-Ragot has re-signed with team for the 2016 season.

“Audrey is such a quiet achiever, she has won more races than people realise and she’s most certainly one of the strongest and most talented riders in the peloton,” Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling’s Owner and Team Manager Rochelle Gilmore said in a team press release.

“Our team of athletes and staff are so proud of everything Audrey has achieved in 2015, and we can’t wait to see what she can do in 2016. Audrey’s biggest asset is her willingness to sacrifice her own chances for her teammates and this is why the entire team absolutely adores her.”

Cordon-Ragot took her first senior French title in the time trial this year and won Chloet-Pays de Loire. Her best work was done as a domestique for the team’s 36 victories. “It has been the most successful season of my career as a teammate,” Cordon-Ragot said. “To be part of this amazing amount of victories is just an honour, and I'm really proud.”

Alongside Cordon-Ragot, Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling has also confirmed that current athletes Amy Roberts, Anna Christian, Olympic Champion Dani King, Japanese Champion Mayuko Hagiwara, Italians Elisa Longo Borghini and Giorgia Bronzini and Belgian Champion Jolien D’hoore will be part of the team in 2016; along with new signings, Swedish Champion Emma Johansson, Dutch all-rounder Amy Pieters and British former two-time Junior World Champion Lucy Garner.
