Games are next month in Santiago, Chile
Veteran Erin Attwell of Victoria will be looking for a reprise on the velodrome track. Carter Woods of Cumberland will be looking to make his mark on the mountain biking trails and Riley Pickrell of Victoria on the road as rising young riders. Mel Pemble of Victoria will be on the road and track.
Pickrell, meanwhile, continued establishing himself as a name to watch for by winning the second stage last month in the Tour de l’Avenir in France, which literally translates as the Tour of the Future, and is considered the U-23 Tour de France and the training ground for elite young riders being groomed for the big race. It followed Pickrell’s victory in the fourth stage last year in the U-23 Giro d’Italia, nicknamed the Baby Giro.
Pemble will race the Pan Am Games para road and velodrome events in Santiago as she looks to becoming a rare Summer and Winter Paralympian next year in Paris to follow up skiing in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics. Pemble traded skis for pedals and won gold in the women’s C3 scratch race in the UCI para-cycling track world championships. The 24-year-old Islander, born with cerebral palsy, is also the world record holder in the C3 omnium 200-metre sprint.
