After four seasons on the WorldTour, Abi Smith has swapped slick for knobbly tyres, and made a fresh start in gravel racing.
The 23-year-old will ride this year as part of Ribble Outliers, the off-road squad created by the Lancashire-based bike brand. The change comes after two seasons blighted by injury with Picnic PostNL, during which time she suffered three concussions which kept her sidelined for months at a time.
