last time i checked the entries closed in october last year. Either she must have pulled some strings or has entered on an imperialist british passport.

Anyway, gooooood luck to her, i think she is going to get a lot of support and cheers and tough questions on the road. I wonder if her pr rep did enough research before deciding which club she should ride with

Good for her. I still remember the PR stunt when Andrew Wheeldon raced her home from work and beat her, cycling from the mayoral offices in town down Albert Road to her place in Rosebank, with Helen in the CA1 limo on the highway.
I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.

I'm sure she'll kick Juju and Jacob's arses on a bike.

By the way Luke anyone can kick CA1's arse on a bike. Its a Prius.
