News: Gabriel Cullaigh
British sprinter Gabriel Cullaigh fears he will no longer be part of a WorldTour or ProContinental team next year. The 25-year-old has not been offered a new contract by his team Movistar and is still without a team for 2022. “I think I should at try another year,” he tells WielerFlits.
“I have no real update, other than that of course I have not been offered a contract extension and that I am still looking for a team,” he says.
Cullaigh, who as a young rider rode for the Cero/Cycle Division team before moving on to teams like SEG Racing Academy and then Team Wiggins where he won the Rutland-Melton Cicle Classic. After two years, he signed with Movistar, where he would eventually stay for two years. Now Cullaigh no longer sees any interest from the WorldTour and ProContinental teams. “I don’t blame them: I have had few races and achieved few results”.
He thinks that most teams are already full for 2022, as the training camps will start soon. The Movistar rider also says there are many other riders who do not yet have a contract: “I think they are also waiting to see if Qhubeka NextHash will continue.” He hopes that he will at least be considered by Qhubeka if that team continues next season.
If not, Cullaigh still won’t give up. “I’ve had good conversations with a number of British continental teams so I will definitely continue with one of them next year.”
He hopes that there he can find his good form again and achieve results. “I think I should give it a chance at least for another year,” he explains.
