Women's Round Up - Sea Otter 2018
Quebec's Louis Garneau is a sponsor of the Clif Pro Team. They created individual custom apparel designs for each of the 7 members of the team.
Clif's Catharine Pendel and Lea Davison laying down the watts during the XC race.
Olympic bronze medallist and 2x World Champion Catharine Pendrel went with unicorns and rainbows.
Team members include Catharine Pendrel, Lea Davison, Maghalie Rochette, Eva Lechner, Haley Batten, Katerina Nash and Hannah Rae Finchamp.
Each kit is as unique as the individuals themselves. They're available for purchase on the Garneau website, and the team is planning to wear them at a non-UCI event this summer.
Lea Davison's Beyonce quote.
Katerina Nash and Lea Davison in the mix in the XC race.
Founder Mandy and her husband Mathieu are co-owners of Dharco, based out of Australia.
Gloves to match every kit.
Because why would you want to live an ordinary life?
New colours for Dharco. These will be available in the US in the next couple weeks.
Dharco had some fine threads available for the ladies.
World Champion and World Cup Stellenbosch winner Annika Langvad won both the Short Track and the XC at Sea Otter.
Doesn't get much lower profile than that!
Foam grips.
Annika Langvad and teammate Kate Courtney going 1-2 in the XC, followed closely by Evie Richards.
Emily Batty and her Trek after the cross-country race.
Evie Richard has the same Trek Factory Racing Procalibre SL as Emily. Evie finished 3rd in the Short Track and the XC.
Evie and Emily's teammate, cyclocross superstar Ellen Noble, had her debut here at Sea Otter but had bad luck with a nose bleed in the Short Track, and a flat in the XC.
The advantage went to Katerina Nash over Evie Richards in the final sprint to the line.
Troy Lee's women's kit on the left.
Kialani Hines in TLD during the Dual Slalom, where she finished just off the podium in forth.
Jill Kintner on her way to 1st place in the Dual Slalom, her first of two Sea Otter gold medals. The second came the following day in the Downhill. Sombrio didn't have a booth at the show, but they had Jill Kintner and Rachel Strait to show off their new women's collection.
You could stop by the Santa Cruz/Juliana booth on Sunday morning to watch the World Cup DH, and check out the Juliana Strega at the same time.
Julianna Free Agent Claire Hamilton raced it in the Dual Slalom and finished third.
Martha Gill absolutely sending the step down gap and getting the bronze in the Downhill as a 21 year old.
Designer Roxy Lo showing off her favourite lines on the Ripmo.
German company Maloja has mountain bike apparel that is designed to be comfortable while out riding, but not too obviously bike gear.
Former pro athlete Adrienne Schneider said she was looking for something that didn't scream "Racer" but was still comfortable, when she stumbled across Maloja. She now works for the comapny in the USA.
This jersey is from "The Alpan Way" Spring collection.
Seamless design for this T-shirt.
A couple of Maloja jackets.
Ergon completely redesigned their women's line under the direction of sports scientist Janina Haas. Stay tuned for an interview with her!
They've worked closely with the Topeak-Ergon team, Ines Thomas, and Rachel Strait, among others.

Too bad I'm cheap and I ride in cotton t-shirts.
Emily Batty!!!!!!! :-)
DILLIGAF
Your online presence reeks of Incel.
If I told you you were an ugly c*nt you’d like it more?
I’m not in the game of pissing on people’s chips, but this time, what would women like?
If I said she’s good on a bike but in no way attractive, would that be better? That’d be a lie mind you...
I really have no idea what you’re getting at.
Go ride n chill out.
I have a happy and rad as wife and a wicked young family. A rad house, awesome cars, bikes, cat and a cool family. So go shove your assumptions up your rotten n dry vagina.
You are in the habit of pissing peoples chips, its literally what you do on this platform.
Lets look back at mass murderers since the '90s and you can objectively connect every single one of them to the Incel communities the lurk on the internet so for you with all of you fragility and privilege to sit there and say its only rhetoric for the feminist army just furthers my point that you shouldn't even be commenting in this thread. Nothing stated above affects you in any way, nothing in this article has anything to do with you.
Props on all your things btw. looks like you have checked off all the boxes society tells you must have to be happy.
Hows your heart? hows Your mental health? do you feel free? do you feel loved?
every single one of you bros that has commented on this thread are solid reminders that no matter what steps pink bike takes to try and make this site and sport more inclusive for women, the real problem is y'all. you're all terrible to each other, your egos and attitudes out on trails don't do anything to help bring women into the sport. None of us are out on trails because we want your attention or affirmations, we just want to rip and enjoy the outdoors without your bullshit.
Speaking of bullshit, Its sad that most of my pro lady friends have to plaster on a smile and always walk a line around all of you fan boys when all they really want is for you to stfu and let them ride instead of engaging with you because its really you Bros that need the affirmations, You need the attention. I know a plethora of Pro men out there with shitty attitudes and probably don't have a future as a model but their riding pays the bills. so do us all a favor, leave us the f*ck alone when were are out riding, none of us are doing ANYTHING, for you
I in no way have tried to upset you have I. Myself, along with plenty of others have expressed the feeling that a lady is good looking. Not a crime.
You’re upset because nobody has told you that you are for a while?
And no, nothing to do with society, if you knew me, which you obviously don’t, I’m super stoked on life. I’ve died three times before and am mega happy with being on the planet. (Just having a cuddle with my two year old daughter.)
The main issues with the internet is; you can’t even say anything nice, or that you like anything because somewhere on the earth there WILL be someone that has an opposing view.
Just never though that would be possible when paying a compliment. Regardless of whether you think she doesn’t need it, nor want it, stop being offended on her behalf. She could easily tell me to shut the f*ck up herself, then I’d listen. Seeing as this is purely your opinion on how someone else might feel, I suggest on behalf of all normal people, that you take the lead and shut the f*ck up, until someone asks for your opinion.
no one asked you for your opinion either yet her you are spouting off there guy.
regular pro at this whole double standard thing aintcha.
But no one can deny she is a good looking female. And she would likely beat me down a track too, which is double rad!
Hey, let both agree to just enjoy bikes :-) as they rule supreme :-)
Ride on!!!!!! \m/
We were all happy before you chimed in.
Also, I’ve never lived in Brighton, so..............
Toxic, probably right, especially the morning after a decent curry.
I think you’ve just highlighted who really is the insecure and odd one.
Plus, if you do read the thread again, you most certainly did begin the mud slinging, mainly to the other guy. Plus you even coined the phrase stfu. Maybe if you’d have scripted your initial response in a less aggrieved manner, we wouldn’t be here.
Look, Emily Batty is good looking. That is an undeniable fact.
@POWsLAYER you may have at some stage had an OK point to make, but the deranged way in which you did it is kind of detracting from that.
