Emma Pooley

There's a nice little piece on Emma Pooley on Cyclingnews.com. She's been my favourite female rider for a while now, and this just confirms what an intelligent, honest, well-rounded and pleasant person she is, along with a kind of ballsy tactical naivety which makes for far more interesting races...

Lovely lady, Emma is.

Looking ahead to the 2010 racing season Pooley isn't afraid to admit that she wants to win either the Giro d'Italia or the Tour de l'Aude.

I'd love to see her really go for one of these. I can't work out if being on the same team as Claudia Häusler plays to Pooley's advantage or not. On the one hand, she's the one rider Häusler will let go in either of those races which means other teams working harder. On the other, at the moment it seems inevitable that Häusler will be the stronger and Claudia deserves the knowledge that the team will be built around her.

Anyway, look at some videos:

Lovely lady, Emma is.

Yes, she is... Very knowledgable of our sport too.

Emma is a cracking girl and I think her star is still very much on the rise. She's speaking at the Cambridge Cycling Club Annual Dinner tonight - sadly I can't go... ;-(

Super article about a National Treasure. She comes across very well. I particularly liked the bit where she says that the UK public only ever see her at the World Champs. Then they make a judgment that is not soundly based. I think that is entirely true and Nicole Cooke suffered criticism in the same way.
