Bummer she won't be racing the Elite Women. I don't think she'd win it but still it would be fun to see how she stacks up. Wouldn't be surprised to see her take third overall even with the minute gap...
U23 rider Emily Batty checks in before tomorrow's National Championship race. As an Under 23, Emily will start in a separate group from the Elite woman, one minute behind. She is one of the favorites to win this years U23 World Championship. July 10, 2009
