Team Colavita/Bianchi announces the final roster for the 2017 season, to include Gillian Ellsay of Courtenay, BC.
Just 19 years old, Ellsay has earned the Best Young Rider jersey multiple times in addition to being the 2015 U23 Canadian National time trial champion. She represented Canada at the world championships in 2015.
The team will concentrate primarily on the USA Pro Road Tour calendar, along with domestic UCI road races and a selection of international races.
Every professional team wants to win,” returning Director Sportif Mary Zider explains. “Winning will always be our program’s ultimate goal, but we won’t focus on the end result. We will focus on all the little steps along the way, done with excellence and attention to detail. As a team director, my goal has always been to give Colavita a program that will last and continue year after year. One that will be nationally recognized, and hopefully, forever impact riders’ careers and personal lives.”
