Ferguson’s road debut this year is set a bit earlier than in mid-April, however. She'll be in Italy in three weeks' time to witness the first-ever
Milano-Sanremo Women. "We don’t know the route yet, it’s not actually released, but it’s probably the longest race of the year," she said, adding with a laugh: "I’m not feeling fit enough yet to want to know how long it is."
The 18-year-old’s programme will then see her compete in a string of one-day Classics, including Gent Wevelgem, Brabantse Pijl, and La Flèche Wallone, before turning to stage races in Spain, and the Lloyds Tour of Britain.
