Kiara Lylyk will continue racing with Winspace Orange Seal until the end of 2027 after signing a two-year contract extension with the French ProTeam. The 21-year-old Canadian, currently in her first season as a professional, has impressed with consistent performances and is seen as one of the team’s most promising talents.
Her standout results so far in 2025 include 6th at the Classique Morbihan, 11th at the Omloop van het Hageland, and several strong sprint finishes at the Tour of Portugal. Already a key part of Winspace Orange Seal’s plans, Lylyk now joins Karolina Perekitko and newcomer Justine Gegu as confirmed riders for the 2026 squad.
“This team has felt like a family so far this year, and the opportunity to stay felt like an easy decision,” Lylyk said. “I feel the passion and belief from everyone around me. I don’t think there is a better place to learn, and better yet continue riding my bike.”
General Manager Jean-Christophe Barbotin praised Lylyk’s impact in her debut season. “Her talent was obvious from the start, and she’s proven it through her results and attitude during the first half of the season,” he said. “Extending Kiara’s contract for two more years also shows that we have confidence in the work we’re doing. We know how to guide young riders to the top level.”
Lylyk becomes the second rider confirmed to stay on after 2025, with Perekitko having also extended her deal earlier in the season.
