WHAT THEY SAY...

SIMON WATTS, GB MOUNTAIN BIKE COACH “Her best performance was Namur. Namur is brutal, physically and technically, but it supports Evie’s physical abilities so well, with her mountain bike background, and also she runs better than any other female in the sport. Evie had a knee problem going into it and it was really touch and go whether she was going to race at all — we’d been in Belgium all week and we’d pretty much written it off up until she rode a lap or two the previous day and didn’t feel too bad.”
