"I am at a poi⭕nt in my season where I need a break," Deignan said. "My season is structured differently to usual and I would normally have had a break in May, and despite not𝓀 racing the spring I was training throughout, and in order to be fresh for the World Championships I have to back off. Unfortunately that coincides with the Nationals."
Deignan returned to racing, after taking time off to giဣve birth to her first child, at the three Ardennes Classics and then competed in the Tour de Yorkshire and the Tour of California. She is currently racing at the OVO Energy Women's Tour where she was second in stage 2 and is currently third overall after stage 4.
She has previously won four British road race titles but this year the championships race isn't a priority as she aims to😼 win a second world title in Yorkshire. She last won a world title at the 2015 World Championships in Richmond.
Yorkshire Worlds is extra special to Deignan given that she grew up in Otley, West Yorks🎉hire. She previewed the route at the Tour de Yorkshire earlier this month and will adjust her training to suit the route.
Deignan told Cyclingnews that the thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚought of winning a second world title in front of her family, husband and daughter, on home roads, is what makes this▨ World Championships extra special.
"I don’t think there would ever be anything that would compare to winning a world title at home in front of🃏 my family," she said.
