- Road to Paris: Paved With Gold
- This year, all trails led to Paris. Every UCI World Series event, training camp, and every second of every day brought elite athletes from around the world closer to the small Parisian suburb of Élancourt, where history was to be made. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Tom Pidcock, friends from the school of INEOS Grenadiers, reigned supreme. With Jenny Rissveds and Alan Hatherly making the podium.
Fresh off the back of the 2021 Tweed Valley Enduro World Series, Isla Short is bright-eyed, wide-smiled and ready to ride.
Whilst an epic day of racing in particularly Scottish conditions would ordinarily necessitate rest for a professional rider, for Isla, this was the rest! Because rest isn’t always physical, and as a cross-country racer, an off-season impetus of no-pressure fun can be just the tonic to the high-pressure environment of World Cup start lines and structured training.
