What is 19th place female at the UCI World Mountain Bike Championships in Val Di Sole, Italy?
It’s top twenty, at the biggest race of the year. It’s 2nd American female, out of 6 USA riders that competed. It’s beating seasoned international riders, like Mary McConneloug, Willow Koerber, and Kiara Bisaro. It’s coming into your 4th European race of your LIFE, and quietly overcoming obstacles of start position, inexperience, youth, and unfamiliar surroundings. Congratulations Lea, you’ve clearly earned your position as a top USA female mountain biker, and you can bet that you’ll be seeing the start line of world cups and world championships for years to come now. Thanks for being such a determined and good natured asset to our program! Lea Davison, 19th at Worlds! Happy Days!
