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
The bike she won Canadian National Champs on today. Catharine Pendrel missed the Nationals recovering from a broken collar bone and MHP has an advanced case of pregnancy, so the battle wasn't quite the same for the top step as usual, but she is the Canadian Elite Women 2013 National Champ. She was only 1:30 ahead of Sandra Walter in 2nd and 2:04 ahead of Amanda Sin in 3rd.
In 2012 she finished 3rd ahead of Amanda Sin in 4th by 2:42 and Sandra Walter in 5th by 4:04, so it sounds like she was soft pedaling a bit this year not having to chase MHP and Pendrel.
Note the stem flip, definitely not the pink one in the photo shoot.
From World Champs in Pietermaritzburg. Emily is having the season that MHP had last year, always being ill at exactly the wrong time. 17th place in South Africa.
I was racing that one. It was funny to watch everyone at the transition area. She'd finish her lap and everyone would stop talking and pretend not to stare. LOL.
Yall silly, I'm a Neff fan personally, her riding skills are just badass!!...and she's always smiles and "having a good time" per Warner...actually i thought it was funny they had a giggle after the cut back from her pre race interview at Albstadt, she's always so spirited. Also hilarious at the starting line when everyone is all anxious and looking serious, meanwhile Neff has a giant smile on her face, awesome.
Wow she's gorgeous. I've got my favorites but I can see how she's appealing.
