Britain's women are on the up and one club is making a big contribution to the future
“I wanted to get a name from being good, earning it and being on the top step of the podium,” she tells us. “I was devastated that I couldn’t ride the road race because all year I had been aiming for that. Not even getting to the start line was soul destroying, and having to watch it from a hospital bed on my 18th birthday wasn’t great.” Headlines surrounding Dolan’s remarkable tenacity overwhelmed the story of Great Britain’s junior women’s team performance in Bergen. Few spoke of Pfeiffer Georgi, then only 16, who finished seventh and sixth in the time trial and road race respectively. And no one mentioned how she and Dolan were two of four riders on the team to have spent 2017 racing for the Liv-Epic club.
