Ashleigh delighted with form a er Belgian race

Road cyclist Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio continued to build on her superb form yesterday, earning her third top-10 finish at a World Tour race in the space of eight days.

The Cervelo-Bigla Pro Cycling rider, 31, finished sixth at the Liege-BastogneLiege, 31 seconds off the pace of Dutch winner Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans), after finishing sixth and ninth respectively at La Fleche Wallonne Feminine, also held in Belgium, and the Amstel Gold Race in the Netherlands.

“Overall I am happy with how things are progressing. It’s getting better every race,” said Moolman-Pasio, who closed out her European spring campaign in style after recovering from a fractured hip late last year.

“It’s amazing to ride with this (Cervelo-Bigla) team. The level of commitment to each other and to the team goal is so inspiring.” – Wesley Botton
