The Wiggle High5 team announced contract renewals on Monday for Swede Emilia Fahlin and Danish rider Julie Leth for 2018. It will be the fourth year with the squad for Fahlin, who interrupted her stint with a year on Ale Cipollini before returning in 2017.
"I'm really happy to have extended to stay with Wiggle High5 for another year," Fahlin said. "It's a great thing knowing the management believes in you and value your job and efforts and want to keep building on it for another year, that they see more potential in you and want to keep working to develop further."
Fahlin's season was hampered by a summer illness that forced her out of the Swedish championships and Giro d'Italia, but she rebounded with a ninth place at the UCI Road World Championships.

"I feel I'm on the right track, I had a good second half of the season which I'm looking forward to building on for next year. Finishing the season off with a good ride at the World Champs gave me a lot of motivation and confidence for upcoming season and I can't wait to get stuck in to the preparation already."
2017 was the first year on the team for Leth, who came across after a four-year stint with Hitec.
"I had a good first season with Wiggle, where I feel like I've developed both personally and professionally, and I am really happy and excited to continue this development in such a professional environment," Leth said. "I've loved being on the road with the team. We always manage to have tons of fun, but still being professional and focused as soon as we're on the start line.
