Lizzie Deignan, born on December eighteenth, nineteen eighty-eight, is a distinguished English track and road racing cyclist. She is celebrated for her remarkable achievements in the sport, having last competed professionally for the UCI Women's WorldTeam Lidl–Trek. Deignan's prowess on the bike is exemplified by her victory as the World road race champion in two thousand fifteen, a title that solidified her status as one of the best British female road cyclists of her generation.

Her illustrious career includes a gold medal in the team pursuit at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in two thousand nine, alongside Joanna Rowsell and Wendy Houvenaghel. Deignan has also claimed the Commonwealth Games road race champion title in two thousand fourteen and has twice won the season-long UCI Women's Road World Cup, triumphing in the overall competition in two thousand fourteen and the final edition in two thousand fifteen.

In two thousand twenty-one, Deignan made history by winning the inaugural Paris–Roubaix Femmes, adding to her impressive list of victories that includes the women's versions of the Tour of Flanders and Liège–Bastogne–Liège. This achievement made her the first woman to secure a 'triple crown' of all women's Monument classics. Furthermore, she is a two-time winner of The Women's Tour, the premier stage race for women in the UK, and has also claimed titles in Strade Bianche Donne, La Course by Le Tour de France, and the Trofeo Alfredo Binda-Comune di Cittiglio.
