Growing up in a sport-minded family probably helped Elisa become the cyclist she is now. She is a great competitor and proved it early in the 2015 season by winning the Tour of Flanders! We can’t wait to see her and her team Wiggle Honda racing in the next events. And who knows, maybe we’ll see her on the UCI Road World Championships podium again this year? Before that, she told us what she likes most in life. Let’s get started!
