Here at Wideopen Jess Stone is one of our most hotly tipped racers on the scene – not only her professional attitude but an ability to put her mind to pretty much anything (BUCS Boxing Champion anyone?) and succeed at it.. Getting a place on the Trek Gravity Girls was a great jump up and in the right direction, and now she’s moving on. To who? We’re not sure.. she’s remaining tight lipped but we’ll post the news up when we get it!
Here’s word from Jess:
My journey with the Trek Gravity Girls has been awesome; I have had the most amazing time and been given opportunities with the team such as Girls Camps in Saalbach, photo shoots at Tenerife, Trek Bike Attack and other adventures along the way that I will never forget. The girls (Katja, Steffi and Solveig) on the team are all so passionate about riding that it made me feel inspired and encouraged to get out and have more fun.
As we all specialise in various disciplines of mountain biking; 4X, BMX, Freeride, and DH Racing – we all learned something from each other and in the two years with the team, it has been great to be part of such an incredible group of people who I will always remain in contact with. I am really sad to be leaving Trek Gravity Girls but I am very excited about the new opportunities that this season is going to bring me…
Final year at Uni and a new team to boot? Good luck Jess! See you on the circuit..
