Canadian cyclist Mike Woods signs new contract, looks to add to win column Globe_Sports
“I came to the team not knowing who I was as a cyclist and what I was capable of … I had no experience in the WorldTour when I joined the team, but JV said I could win an Ardennes Classic,” Woods said in a statement, referencing the race trilogy made up of the Amstel Gold Race, La Fleche Wallonne and Liege–Bastogne–Liege.“Knowing what I know now, that was a bold prediction for him to make about me at the time. I had not shown anything that truly indicated I could win a Classic, but he was right.
Woods competed at the 2016 Games in Rio despite a series of injuries that included a broken femur. He finished 55th despite throwing up in mid-competition. A former elite distance runner at the University of Michigan, Woods switched to cycling due to a recurrent stress fracture in his foot. His last track comeback ended with another break in 2011.
