The friendly and approachable Evelyn Stevens has ridden her last race today, the GP Plouay. I wouldn't post a story about every retiree but she has an interesting background.

    It will be a different sport without her. She always made me think that it was possible as woman with natural talent, a lot of hard work and support to come into the sport professionally later in life.
    Correlation is not causation.
