BEST "Better Know A Pro" of 2009
Of the 15 "Better Know A Pro" interviews we did this year, none got even half the response of the Emily Batty Intro. This was the very first video posted on Cyclingdirt way back on Feb. 24th and is still one of the most watched videos on the site day in and day out. Emily has gone on to have one of the strongest seasons of any rider in North America, taking a Pan Am Championship, National Title, and countless wins on the Canada Cup series. At only 20 years old, she should have a lot of great years ahead of her. If you haven't watched it yet, and that's unlikely, meet Canada's newest star.
