I also hope they click. It looked like Robyn took a bit of strain on last years Epic, mostly on the climbs. Really hope they are both dialed in, can make an explosive team if so.

She was going to retire end of last year. This opportunity convinced her to stick around another year

I hope her heart is in it, or she might regret it. Pitty as she was doing really well. 4th at the World Champs 2 years ago, Swiss Epic.. definately at the sharp end, Seems like she's just been on a bit of a lonely road with regards to teams and sponsors. Shes been one of my favorite local racers, will be missed.
