of the 11 is Kylie Ellmers who seems to have a hand in prepping half
the bikes in the paddock. The New Zealander, who lives and works in
Melbourne, Australia, and races on a Russian license starts her third full
season and will be looking to improve on lasts season’s sixth overall.
Sofie Borgstrom, who made her debut in Castro in 2015 at just 16, is
still the youngest competitor in the division at 18 and starts her second
full season and is joined by elder sister Joanna who made the podium on
her debut in 2014 in Milan, and along with seasoned- campaigner Marta
Sorrentino and Lisa Caussin Battaglia will all be looking to challenge for
top six slots.
