This weekend we have team riders Abi Cooper and Daisy Barnes racing in our first stage race of the year. in the rolling countryside of the Peak District.

The race will include:

Stage 1: 12km TT

Stage 2: 62km Road Race on the Bole Hill circuit

Stage 3: 78km Road Race

We had a quick catch up with both riders prior to the race to find out their pre race thoughts. Here is what they had to say:

‘‘ I’m really looking forward to racing next weekend in the Peaks with Daisy. I’ve not done this style of stage race before so I’m excited to see what it’s going to be like and hopefully gain a lot more experience about how to pace myself throughout the weekend as it is going to be physically demanding and certainly good training! Racing as a team will also be very fun and I’m looking forward to doing some hillier courses.’’ - Abi Cooper

‘‘ I am really looking forward to this race, it’s my first race of the season so it is definitely a bit of an unknown for me at the minute in regard to where my form is but I’m feeling really positive and excited to give it my all. It is only March and with a quiet April I’m just hoping to learn from the event where my weaknesses are and go away and work on them. ‘‘ - Daisy Barnes
