Calgary rider Alex Volstad joins EF-Oatly-Cannondale pro cycling team
Calgary teenager Alex Volstad, a two-time Canadian junior road race champion, is joining the EF-Oatly-Cannondale cycling team next season.
Volstad, 18, joins fellow Canadian Alison Jackson (Vermilion, Alta.), Clara Emond (Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, Que.) and Magdeleine Vallieres (Sherbooke, Que.) in EF-Oatly-Cannondale colours.
“Next year, I just want to learn as quickly as I can and to get the hang of elite racing,” Volstad said in a statement. “I’ll help my teammates as much as I can and learn from them as much as I can.
“I think EF-Oatly-Cannondale will be a great team to help me develop. I can learn a lot from the experienced riders here and the bold style of racing inspires me a lot. I’m not nervous but I am buzzing.”
