Liv Racing announced Wednesday that it will part ways with performance manager Lars Boom effective immediately. Boom was expected to stay with the Women's WorldTeam to the end of the season, however, the team's management ended their agreement early after the former professional racer had accepted an offer to work for another team beginning in 2022. 

"I made a decision to go work for a different team next year. And was planing just to finish the year with Liv Racing. But the management decided different. I wish Liv Racing and all the girls good luck the rest of the year," Boom wrote in a post on Twitter.
