Rider Bio:

Scotland’s Eileen Roe is one of the eight new signings for Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling for the 2015 season. The 25 year old from Highvalley Field, coming over from Starley Primal, started racing at the young age of 10 on a grass track at the Highland Games in Scotland. At the age of 13 Roe took out her first British racing license and started racing on the velodrome in Edinburgh with the Edinburgh racers until the age of 18. In addition to being supported by Rochelle Gilmore’s Wiggle Honda team, Eileen is a Scottish Institute funded athlete and continues to be backed by the Braveheart Foundation.

In her last year as a junior Eileen travelled over to Belgium to compete with the Scottish National Team. Over the years she has competed a lot in Belgium and Dutch races, and signed her first pro contract with Team Ibis Cycles (partnering with Scottish Cycling) in 2012. After several years in Holland, Eileen turned back to the UK to ride for Breast Cancer Care (2013) and Starley Primal (2014) before signing with Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling last month. Over the years Roe has won a lot of criteriums and kermesses in Belgium, Holland, Germany and the UK, but her most impressive win to date is certainly the gold medal at the British National Criterium Championship earlier this year.

Eileen has shown during the past month in Australia that she is going to be a very important reliable team player for Wiggle Honda in 2015.
