  1. Kirsty was born and raised in Auckland, where she started cycling with the Massey High School cycling team at 13 years old. At 15 Kirsty made her first NZ representative team  and by 21 she was signing her first professional road contract in Europe. Her 4 years racing professionally in Europe Kirsty learnt how to race tactically: both individually and as a team and how to train and race smart. Kirsty has raced all the women’s grand tours, world cups and 5 world championships and the Manchester Commonwealth Games. In 2003 her team finished the season ranked #1 in the UCI Women’s Pro Team rankings. Some of her major results include: 4 x New Zealand National time trial champion Winner Chrono Champenois Trophee European, France Winner Stage 6 Tour of Holland Winner Omloop de Kempen, Holland Winner Profonde van Made, Holland 2nd in GC for the Tour de Bretagne, France 3rd Stage 1 Tour de A’lude, France 6th ITT Manchester Commonwealth Games After competitive racing, Kirsty set her sights on building a career in physiotherapy. Her in-depth knowledge of the sport assisted with cycling related injuries, issues and she received many request for coaching advice. While lending a physio hand to Gordy during his 2010 season, with aligned philosophies to training and racing, the idea of joining GMC Coaching was born. “I've always wanted to give back something to a sport that has given me so much, with GMC Coaching giving me the opportunity to do this I look forward to working with you on your next cycling goal”
