A name to watch out for

Congratulations to Jess Booth, selected for Team GB in the Holland Ladies Tour and holding her own in difficult conditions against the likes of Marianne Vos.

Not bad for a teenager who has just finished her A-levels.

Good luck to all the GB women.

more importantly, she's fit.

More importantly, she's an extremely pleasant, modest well-mannered girl.

Just being where she is represents an amazing achievement, and it's unrealistic to expect any high-ranking results any time soon, but I am curious to see how she does in the domestic Dutch and Belgian races where the other British youngsters (Colclough K, Mayho, Greenfield, Rowsell etc.) have been competitive this season. Those races aren't as major as the UCI ranked ones but they are still very competitive and frequently feature excellent opposition.
