Professional World Cup cyclist rides for Belgium based Lotto Belisol team

Emma is a Professional World Cup cyclist who rides for Belgium based Lotto Belisol team.

In 2010, Emma, aims to continue to compete on the Women’s European Circuit Emma began competitive cycling in 2005 aged 27, after three years of top level triathlon. During her first year, she made excellent progress on the domestic racing scene and in 2006 began to race with Team FBUK in Belgium, gaining experience in UCI (International Cycling Union) races and Belgian elite races.

In 2007, the former maths teacher decided to take up the sport full-time. Riding with Global Racing Team in her first year as a professional, Emma played a key role in securing some excellent results for the team in numerous UCI races. At the end of 2007, Emma was approached by Belgium team Lotto-Belisol and signed a contract for 2008.

In 2009, still racing for Lotto-Belisol, Emma suffered two major injuries to her ribs and collarbone, forcing absences from competitive riding and ruling her out of the World Cup in Montreal in May 2009. Towards the end of the season, Emma returned to competition, achieving four top-five finishes (Oostmalle-4th, Maarkedaal-4th, Limoges-3rd, De Klinge 4th). However, after a car accident in September 2009, Emma decided to end her season.

Emma is currently preparing for her 2010 season, and will shortly announce an exciting new racing team.
