Lizzie Deignan has said she is not thinking about retirement for the foreseeable future, after previously planning to bow out after the Tokyo Olympic Games.

The 33-year-old with Trek-Segafredo postponed her retirement at the end of 2020, and this month confirmed that ending her career is not on her mind as she heads into 2022.
