Gilmore heads to Flexpoint

Australian Rochelle Gilmore will make an unusual mid-season team switch from her Italian Menikini-Selle Italia squad to the Dutch Flexpoint Team. The 26-year-old is coming off a strong first half of the year which included three stage wins in the Tour of PEI last week.

Gilmore will join the new team starting June 15, and her first race will be the Dutch stage race, Ster Zeeuwsche Eilanden, which begins June 19. Her contract runs for one year.
