AG Insurance - Soudal is delighted to announce it has agreed a 3-year contract extension with Shari Bossuyt (25), with the rider committing her future to the Belgian WorldTour squad through to the end of 2029.

Since joining AG Insurance - Soudal, Bossuyt has become an important part of the team's structure, showcasing her versatility, strength and commitment both in support roles and when racing for her own opportunities. The Belgian has continued to make steady progress, delivering strong performances across a variety of terrains and race formats while further establishing herself at WorldTour level.

The contract extension is another important signal of AG Insurance - Soudal's commitment to creating a stable and professional environment in which riders can develop over the long term and perform at their highest level.

CEO Jurgen Foré highlighted the confidence the team has in Bossuyt's future: “We are extremely pleased that Shari has chosen to continue her journey with AG Insurance - Soudal. The long-term commitment makes this extension even more meaningful for both parties.

Since Shari joined AG Insurance - Soudal, she has shown tremendous resilience, professionalism and determination. We have seen her continue to grow as a rider and as a person, while consistently delivering strong performances and valuable results for the team.

We firmly believe that Shari's best years are still ahead of her. This agreement reflects the confidence we have in her abilities and our ambition to continue building together. We are looking forward to seeing her take the next steps in her development and contribute to the success of the team in the years to come.”

Shari Bossuyt expressed her happiness about the extension: “I am incredibly happy to extend my contract with AG Insurance - Soudal and continue this journey for the coming years. The team gave me the opportunity to join last season, and from day one it has felt like the right environment for me to grow both as a rider and as a person.

What makes this team so special is the trust, professionalism and family atmosphere that surrounds it. I feel at home here, and that is something that is extremely important to me. We have already shared many great moments together, but I truly believe there is still a lot more to achieve.

I am grateful for the confidence the team continues to show in me, and I am highly motivated to keep working hard, contribute to the team's success and pursue our ambitions together. Starting with the BK next Sunday. The course should suit me, so I won’t be lining up on Sunday without ambition.”
