Drawing particular attention is the official arrival of Zoe Backstedt on to the Women’s World Tour. The 18 year old is the first rider to ever hold four World Championship titles across four different disciplines at the same time. She speaks to Orla about her imperious year and her goals for the forthcoming season when she’ll join Lizzy at EF Education-TIBCO-SVB.
Zoe will not only be racing against her sister Elynor (Trek-Segafredo) next year but will also be looking to beat her dad Magnus too. The former Paris-Roubaix champion will be taking up a place in the Canyon SRAM race car as their new directeur sportif Magnus chats to Orla about his ambitions to steer a competitive and popular Canyon SRAM team towards much needed winning ways.
We also hear from one of Canyon SRAM’s recent departures – Ella Harris – who gives an honest appraisal of her time with the team. The New Zealand rider speaks to Lizzy about her progression from the Zwift Academy and looks to the future with her move to Le Col Wahoo.
