World track champion Alison Shanks has been selected in a strong New Zealand team to compete in this month's Women's Cycling Tour of New Zealand.
BikeNZ has put together the cream of the country's women's cycling talent in naming Shanks to ride alongside national road champion Rushlee Buchanan, the accomplished Joanne Kiesanowski, and 2005 tour winner Cath Cheatley, Kaytee Boyd, and a leading European professional, Linda Villumsen, who recently became a New Zealander.
The tour starts in the Wairarapa on February 24th.
It is the only women's UCI international event in Oceania.
