Confident Abbott backed by Wiggle High5 – Women's Tour of California
A recent overall victory at the Tour of the Gila has given Mara Abbott with confidence heading into the Women's Tour of California, set to start on Thursday in South Lake Tahoe. The American climber will have the backing of her Wiggle High5 team, and support from her family, who will be watching the race from the sideline.
"I'm really excited to get to have my entire team here racing in the US!" Abbott said in a team press release. "I had a great race at Gila, which is one of my favourite events of the year and gives me confidence going into this week.

The Women's Tour of California is the eighth round of the new Women's WorldTour. This year, organisers are putting on a four-day race; a road race in South Lake Tahoe, a team time trial in Folsom, a road race in Santa Rosa; and a circuit race in Sacramento.
Wiggle High5 will have a second card to play with Emma Johansson, who is currently ranked fourth in the Women's WorldTour ranking. The Swedish national champion has never competed at the Tour of California before and said she is looking forward to the change.
