According to the Argos-Shimano team info pack; Elke Gebhardt started cycling so she could beat a class-mate riding uphill, not a bad way to an eventual professional contract with probably one of the biggest teams. I met Elke at the Argos team launch in Spain, after the official presentation stuff when the press and riders were left to mingle at the buffet. We were both looking at the coffee and hoping it was nicer than the caffeine/brown drink that was on offer at breakfast. Elke has a lot of experience and has a great insight in the World of women’s cycling, so she was an easy interviewee.
