Get to know Caileigh! 

Caileigh joins VBR T24 as a development cyclist in her second year of racing bikes. Although she is still new to racing bikes, she is no stranger to performing under pressure and has an immense background of racing on the world stage. She is an Olympic bronze medalist, two-time Olympian, and World Champion for the sport of rowing, and also raced on the junior national team for swimming when she was twelve. 

Caileigh now brings these skills and knowledge she has for being able to be one of the best athletes in the World to her cycling and teammates. She is excited to see where her cycling career can go next with the support from VBR T24, as she dials in her focus for time-trailing.
