Gen to ride for NZ in World Cyclocross Championships
It has been to date my most successful racing year ever and this was all helped massively by contributions in so many shapes and forms with sponsorship.
I made history to be New Zealand’s first ever female competitor at the World Cyclocross Championships, I gained a top 25 finish in UCI 1.1 event and was shortlisted for the New Zealand team for the World Road Championships – the only major disappointment was not making the team, but hardly anyone did, with only one female rider selected.
The great news behind all of this as that I’ve been selected to represent New Zealand at the World Cyclocross Championships in 1.5 weeks time in Belgium and I’ve signed a contract with a UCI French road team ASPTT DIJON for 2012. This is definitely the biggest opportunity to fall in my lap in a long time and it gives me the chance to race the road world cups and a lot of top level UCI tours that you can’t access unless you’re part of a UCI team.
