Road to gl G
REAT BRITAIN are certainly taking a strong team to the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships in Maniago from August 2-5. And amongst their 20 riders in Italy will be non-other than Britain’s most successful female Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey. Returning to elite level competition following the birth of her son Charlie last October, she will be aiming to add to her impressive tally of 23 para-cycling world championship titles. Storey said: “After not being able to travel to the track worlds in March I’m excited to get out to Italy for the road worlds.
“The road season has started well and I’ve already raced internationally in Holland. Over the last few weeks I’ve had the HSBC UK National Women’s Road Series races and the HSBC UK National Road Championships as part of my preparations.” Joining Storey will be Lora Fachie piloted by Corrine Hall, Crystal Lane-Wright and Katie Toft - all of whom won gold medals at the World Cup in Ostend earlier this year. Paralympic champions Steve Bate and his pilot Adam Duggleby, Karen Darke, Megan Giglia and Louis Rolfe will be back in action, while Will Bjergfelt, Craig Collis McCann, Hannah Dines, Mel Nicholls, Simon Price, Liz Saul, David Smith and Ben Watson will represent Great Britain in their respective categories.
