<\/p>\nIndeed, it is the lure of next year\u2019s Gravel World Championships, to be held in Western Australia, that was part of the motivation to continue her career, competing, as she will be, in her home country.<\/p>\n

Next year will be Cromwell\u2019s 11th season with the team and she has become of the mainstays in Ronny Lauke\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team has definitely become my home in cycling; a place where I’ve felt I can be myself and always feel supported and challenged through all the highs and lows of my career,\u201d Cromwell said in a team press release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been times I\u2019ve considered moving to other teams during my career, but in the end I\u2019ve always stayed because I\u2019m happy here. I\u2019m valued for what I can bring to the team with my experience, and I feel valued by my teammates. I\u2019ve also been given opportunities to explore gravel racing in order to help renew my motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n
That gravel racing has given her a new lease of life, Cromwell admitting the chance to fight for her own successes off road has helped her contribute when riding for the team. That gravel success includes victories at UNBOUND\u2019s 100 mile race, RADL Gravel in her South Australian home and the win at The Gralloch, one of the UK\u2019s UCI Gravel World Series races. She is also the current Australian Gravel champion.<\/p>\n

On the road she can count wins in two stages of the Giro Rosa and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad among her successes, though she has now pivoted to a leadership role.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese days I\u2019d say my main role within the team now is definitely being that leader. Not for results but for leading by example; helping our younger riders develop and giving my knowledge to the team from the years of experience I have in the sport. And sometimes, being the calm head and voice between the riders and the staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have some aims for the 2026 season. I have unfinished business at Sanremo Women after crashing out this year, but also for the classics in general. I\u2019m always striving to be strong during this period to help the team in the biggest races.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to be strong enough to be considered for the TDFFAZ team in 2026 and to help the team there, especially with it finishing in Nice. The final day I know super well, so it would be pretty cool to race there on \u2018home roads\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest goal and reason to continue for another season is the UCI Gravel World Championships in Australia. It\u2019s going to be a true gravel world champs \u2013 a proper course and one I\u2019ve won on twice before. I know the depth will be much stronger but it\u2019s still a big goal for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto have confirmed that Tiffany Cromwell has extended her time with the German registered Women\u2019s WorldTour squad,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-288299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cycling","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
