WHAT THEY SAY...

CHRIS NEWTON, TEAM BREEZE MANAGER “The Nationals is always a tough race to call — a performance like that was beyond her years I would say. It was a fantastic race win. Also taking bronze in the national points race at the start of the year, at only 18 years of age.

“We have the top riders in the world in bunch racing here, so to take some scalps there was great, and now she’s forging ahead, taking medals at European champs at U23 and getting a call up to go to the World Cup in Berlin, so she’s really moving forward and is a great athlete to work with as well.”
