There had to be one eventually.

She's just 22 years old, but is certainly getting lots of press, and she might be the favourite video interview for Colt at Cyclingdirt.org. It looks like she has quite a promising future as a mountain bike racer. She's certainly taken over as the most photographed smile in mountain bike racing from Marie-Helene Premont, which is interesting as she lists Premont as one of her MTB racing heroes, along with other top Canadian riders such as Catharine Pendrel and Chrissy Redden.

This month she's on the cover of Singletrack magazine (UK), no article just a masthead comment on the cover photo Emily Batty - Oh yes

But there is a very good writeup on Emily in the new Canadian Cycling Magazine

Looks to me like she had the gas to win that race. After a pretty bad start, she moved up very well. Then had the front wheel issue, lost 2 spots and quickly in the same lap passed them both.

Funny after watching the mens race, the winner also had a bent front wheel. Males me wonder if their wheel builder was having a bad day or the wheel itself is crappy. (Bothe trek factory racing)

I cant belive she took her pearls off. As pretty as she is, I really like her wholesome down to earth nature. I hope it isnt to provocative.....( i cant belive I am saying that). I guess having girls changes how you think.

I guess I just dont picture her being "that girl"

Stay classy emilly :p
