Marianne Vos, acclaimed as the 'Greatest of All Time' in cycling, announced a groundbreaking indefinite contract with the Dutch team Visma-Lease a Bike. The deal allows Vos to compete until she chooses to retire, reaffirming her commitment to the sport after speculation of impending retirement. Emphasizing the unique nature of the agreement, Vos expressed relief and excitement about continuing her career. This contract mirrors a similar one signed by male cyclist Wout van Aert, showcasing the Dutch team's innovative approach to supporting their top riders.
That gives me the opportunity to indeed look year by year, but I'm not thinking about the end. There are many possibilities after my active career, but that's not something I'm thinking about now.
Surprise, no, it's the other news. I'm very happy to bring out the news that we have this agreement until eternity, well, at least until the end of my active career.
I didn't think about quitting, and I didn't want to think about an end date, so this was the perfect agreement to just focus on now and continue.
It's a relatively unique contract, certainly, but not one that is too unknown to Visma-Lease a Bike, with men's rider Wout van Aert signing a similar deal.
