Emma Pooley is one of those riders who has captured our hearts here in TWC. With buckets of brains (she has just completed a PHD in geo-technical engineering), sporting talent that reaches well beyond the bike and a friendly, bubbly personality to boot, she is the definition of an all-rounder.

She told us all about all that, team-work, learning to love descending & much more.

She told me her plans, what it was like in a break with 4 riders from Rabobank-Liv at the Emakumeen Bira, and a lot more

British rider wins three years after final Tour de l’Aude despite continued problems. The race was won by Emma Pooley (Bigla), after the British rider took the victory on the hilly third stage, then consolidated her overall lead with second place in the penultimate day’s time trial. Despite her victory, Pooley pulled no punches as she confirmed that the race’s problems were far from solved after it finally did go ahead.
Haute Route from Geneva to Nice perfect training for the Worlds and is a dream come true for me

Following a ridiculously early alarm call 600 cyclists gathered behind the shoreside starting line in Geneva, Switzerland, with 780 kilometres of road between them and the finishing line on the Côte d'Azur.
The numbers were staggeringly scary: 780km including 21,000 metres of ascending over 19 mythical Alpine cols in seven successive days. All against the clock. The Haute Route, in its second year of running, has not called itself 'the toughest and highest sportive in the world' for nothing.
