A fun, but also tiring, couple of weeks has come to a close today, finishing with the classic race in Rauris. Unfortunately the British Championships clashed with the German and Slovenian World Cups last week so only Jasmin competed in all three. There were challenging conditions in Germany and some crashes meant she had a tough few days but she found her form again yesterday coming 5th in the Rauris Sprint!

The British Team fielded a large squad in this Rauris World Cup with eight people competing and three forerunning. There was a sprint race yesterday and a very long classic today. This gave a lot of the new members of the youth, development and senior teams the opportunity to compete on the World Cup with a lot of support from the more experienced racers. Everyone did fantastically on some very steep and challenging courses!

Anna Morrissey is now retiring from racing and from her position as captain, Louis Hatchwell will be taking over as team captain. He will do a great job as he intends to commit more to the racing in the coming years. Next stop is the World Championships and World Junior championships in Steamboat, America!
