Our countdown for the Brooklyn 2017 women's field starts with Carla Nafría (ES). Carla raced her first RHC before the addition of a separate women’s field, which should tell you a bit about her as a racer. This season the promising young rider has the support of The Crit Life team which saw the potential in her 6th place finish in London last season. If she continues on this trajectory look for her to land on the podium soon. 2,200km in 2017 for Carla according to her Strava profile. Ph: @caropaulette
