I read an interview in which she is she was happy to do photo shots like this because it showed young girls that you did not have to look like some Russians to be a cyclist / sprint cyclist. You could be a good cyclist and sexy. Fair play to her but as always her achievements should come first in any ad campaign.
VP is a good ambassador for the sport to young women because she is an excellent cyclist and is good looking helping to push a positive image and a good example to allow other female cyclist to be proud of what they do .
