Lawrence's happy news means she'll probably have one last hurrah in T100 SF, though I guess she might go to London to get three scores before her final semester. Do you think she'll race again? She said due in October which means February-ish
San Fran will put her at ~4 months in. Not necessarily saying you can't be fit, but do you risk that? A bike wreck or anything....
I think London, Ibiza and Las Vegas are out....
Then Dubai and Grand Final are basically a month post
I think this all but guarantees she doesn't fulfill the contract.........
Nice. I really hope she took that contract and got pregnant with this in mind. The people upset (fairly so) with Nike, I hope will insist that PTO continue to pay her.
I agree that racing feels too risky especially as she's pretty close to the high risk age group. I would hope she'd keep her exercise level to age group status, not superhuman pro volume/ intensity.
I actually expect and applaud the PTO for supporting her. I imagine with all the marketing they do based on athlete pay they are thrilled for Holly and this opportunity to tell that story of a pro female athlete mother to be.
The real question is 2025 if she wants to race. Will they have a spot for her? Will she maintain her contract through then?
Of course we can't expect the PTO to fix every problem in society.
