A lot has been going on behind the scenes with the ToMR organisation for SPR this year. Accommodation has been researched and booked, a Team Manager appointed – welcome to the job Jon Hanson! – and of course the nominees have… ur…. nominated!
But that’s not all. SPR for this year has scored an amazing opportunity. After many years of entering teams SPR will this year have one of the Pro Register riders in our midst, and will be riding with one of our Women’s teams.
That’s right – P.R.O. A proper, bona fide, 100%, current Pro rider. One of the top racers in the Women’s Pro peloton, a leader in this year’s World Tour and one of Orica Scott’s leaders. Watch the ToMR Event FaceBook page this evening for more……… But a red hot tip – we’ll spill the beans here as soon as we’re allowed!
