Womens field grows to four!

Now will have four contenders to the title of this years race.

Besides the Dutch Caroline Van Den Bulk and the Brazilian Daniela Figueiredo, Sandra from Pará and Alziane Diógenes, from Ceará, will be side to side at the start line.

After having an injury problem last year, Alziane left the race before completing the 24 hours.

This year she's much better prepared and almost 100% healed from her hip aches.

Three times MTB 12 hours champion; Second overall at the World Cup qualifying event and two times winner of the 4 riders relay category at the Desafio 24h, Alziane said "that is impossible for a Cearense not to be in such a World Class event, right at our playground. This is a must for bike lovers".
