EF Education-EasyPost (United States) - Press Release: EF Education-EasyPost are proud to announce that Richard Carapaz will join the team in 2023.

Arguably the most accomplished cyclist Ecuador has produced, Richard has ridden in the WorldTour since 2016. Last year he won gold at the Tokyo Olympics and claimed the overall title at the Tour de Suisse. In addition to winning the 2019 Giro d’Italia, he has stood on the podium at all three of the grand tours. Richard is the current national time trial champion of Ecuador.

Despite such a lengthy list of race results, Richard is not done yet.

“When you conquer one thing, you want more. I’m one of those people who wants more,” Richard says. “There are still things I haven’t achieved. I’d like to try to win another grand tour. A life goal has always been to win the Tour de France. It’s something I will fight for. I know it’s possible. I know what my potential is and what I can do, what I can achieve, and I’m fighting for this dream. Every day I get up with this dream that I have to try for. When I first started to ride we knew about the grand tours. Eventually I thought I could win the Giro d’Italia and I’ve done that and now I’m thinking about the Tour de France.”
