News: Alice Barnes Joins Canyon/SRAM

British rider Alice Barnes has signed for Canyon SRAM for the 2018 season. In a press release, the team says … Alice Barnes brings youth and versatility already boasting a stage win and second overall at this year’s BeNe Ladies Tour, and will join older sister Hannah Barnes who has raced with the German-registered team for the past two years.

Alice Barnes started “I am really excited to join the CANYON//SRAM line up. This year I have had some great opportunities to ride for myself but I believe for me to move forward I have a lot more to learn. The staff and riders are very experienced and they can teach me a lot. I have always admired the way that they work as a unit and are always working towards one goal.”

CANYON//SRAM Racing’s Team Manager, Ronny Lauke welcomed Barnes. “Alice raised our interest due to her fighting spirit and never give up attitude. Her strength in classic races is very promising and her hunger for more is brilliant to see. Beating one of the icons in the sport, Marianne Vos, in a one-on-one sprint in Belgium recently was a very strong signal. We are pleased she has joined our setup for the coming year.”

Asked about her goal in 2018 Alice Barnes said it is one of learning and developing as a cyclist. “For me 2018 is a learning curve. I am looking forward to having different roles and experimenting with my racing. I still have a lot of developing and CANYON//SRAM Racing is the perfect place for me to do this.”
