An in form Liv AlUla Jayco squad will roll into inaugural Women’s Tour of Britain starting on Thursday, 6th June targeting stage wins and the overall title.
Italian sprinter Letizia Paternoster is back in action and back in the UK after an impressive showing at the recent Ride London that saw her step onto the podium on stage one and finish fourth overall. It looks to be a race that should also suit Australian champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon with the undulating terrain and she will line-up alongside the Italian sprinter and Liv AlUla Jayco’s other fast finisher, Georgia Baker.
A strong and powerful trio of Amber Pate, Jeanne Korevaar and Teniel Campbell will each play a key role over the four days of racing in both the fast finishes and the more selective stages.
The 2024 edition of the Women’s Tour of Britain (6th – 9th June) replaces the previous Women’s Tour, with the women’s peloton given another platform for racing in the UK, as the four days of action takes in a mix of terrain for both punchers and sprinters alike.

Letizia Paternoster
“I am really motivated for this race. My shape is good, I worked a lot all year to improve my level and I think it is growing so it makes me very happy. I think we can do a great job with the girls and of course I always want to try to take a win. We are a strong team, I saw the stages and I think they are really good for me and the team we have, with short climbs and hard laps. This is what I like. I am super motivated and happy like always when I re-join the team. I feel like a family when I am with them, I enjoy it a lot and that helps me a lot for the racing. I can’t wait to start.”

“The team is definitely on the up, and we are building towards those WorldTour victories as we are coming into our main goals of the season. In Ride London, we were so close to the podium and missed out by just our final positioning. But for us, it was almost an internal win, we still managed great results without executing the ‘perfect plan’. We learnt a lot there and you could see it was already paying off in stage three before Letizia had the mechanical on the last lap.
The team in Andalucia performed really great, it was amazing to read the reports and hear the stories from that race and we will carry nothing but motivation and momentum from that race into the Tour of Britain. We have a few cards to play, it has always been a race that suits our team really well. For us, we have riders to support in any situation and we are ready to fight for our next WorldTour podium.”
