Rally Cycling are "on a high” after taking a giant win in the wealthy women’s Grant Park Criterium, and they are eager to transition back to stage racing on American soil. Olivia Ray, who won the richest one-day race for women in North America on Sunday, will be part of a six-rider lineup that includes Olympic Games bronze medallist Emma White for the four-day Joe Martin Stage Race.

After a one-year interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Joe Martin Stage race returns for its 44th campaign, from August 26-29, with 12 women’s teams charging through the Ozark Mountains and Fayetteville, Arkansas.
