Age is just a number, and German cycling veteran John Degenkolb is proving it in style. At 37, the seasoned rider has just announced he's extending his career for another season with Team Picnic-PostNL, much to the delight of fans and teammates alike.

"I will definitely still be out there as a cycling professional next year and will take on the 2027 season," Degenkolb shared with broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) this past Saturday. With his original contract set to expire at the end of this year, this extension marks a bold commitment to the sport he loves.

Degenkolb's legacy is already etched in cycling history. He claimed two of the sport's most prestigious one-day races—Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix—both Monument victories that came an impressive 11 years ago. He also added a stage win at the Tour de France in 2018, showcasing his enduring talent on the world's biggest stage.

Reflecting on his decision, Degenkolb said he's excited "about what still awaits me in the time until the end of my career." For fans of the sport, it's a chance to see a true champion continue to chase glory, one pedal stroke at a time. Whether you're gearing up for the cobbles or just love a good comeback story, this extension is a reminder that passion for cycling never fades.
