After taking his first professional victory at the Clasica San Sebastian on Saturday, Neilson Powless has extended his contract with EF Education-Nippo, the team announced.

"Neilson is a big part of this team's heart and a big part of its future," says team CEO Jonathan Vaughters. "Most importantly, he's a truly upstanding person. We absolutely love having him on the team. I look forward to what we'll accomplish together over the coming seasons."

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
