Thank you for EVERYTHING.

@laurakenny31

Thank you for being the best team mate, you made my journey SO much better.

Thank you for hours and hours of bike riding together all over the world.

Thank you for always pushing me to be the best I could be.

Thank you for giving me haribo up Sa Colobra when we were dying together.

Thank you for all the sleep overs at every training camp or race (we did not stop talking).

Thank you for all the fun after winning (sorry I crashed us off a shopping bike into a bush… after which we decided to fake tan at 3am).

Thank you for letting me 3rd wheel with Jason.

Thank you for being my bridesmaid and best friend.

BUT MOST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. You haven’t changed one bit. Even after all of your success. I’m SO proud of you, on and off the bike.

Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill

“Laura what an incredible career you have had! You are such a legend, always will be and you will continue inspiring! Enjoy this next chapter.”

Ellie Simmonds

“Congratulations on an absolutely phenomenal career.”
