Benjamin Perry signs with WiV SunGod
Canadian joins British conti team for 2022
Ben Perry will be riding with WiV SunGod in 2022, the team announced Wednesday. The team is a continental outfit based in the U.K., currently operating under the handle of Canyon dhb SunGod.
Perry previously rode for Astana Premier Tech, and is excited to find a new team for 2022.
“It was definitely a hard year in terms of knowing what the future held, with teams folding and a lot of uncertainty with the continuation of Astana Premier Tech. Pretty late on, I found out that I wouldn’t be able to continue with my current team, and I quickly reached out to Tim from what will now be known as WiV SunGod,” the former under-23 national champion said. “I have always thought the team looked really solid and their program suits me perfectly.”
He joked that there’s one big advantage to riding on a British squad. “Everyone is from the U.K. and Ireland, so I will go from being the only native English speaker in 2021, to maybe one of the few who speaks more than English in 2022!” he said. “I am really looking forward to getting started with the team, and having fun and doing races that really suit me with a good group of lads.”
“It feels reminiscent to the Silber days, just maybe swap the hockey talk for cricket talk, and driving a van around Oklahoma to driving a camper around the Isle of Man. Let the good times roll,” Perry said.
