At the Moscow leg of the World Track Cup which wrapped up yesterday, 18 year old Rebecca notched 
up three podium spots in three different disciplines.

Surely this is one woman capable of a high placing when the series wraps up in Australia at the
end of February.

Rebecca rides on the road too and gained an encouraging 17th place 1 minute 33 seconds back in the Junior 
Time Trial at the recent Worlds Championships in Verona.
