"Oh hey there. I'm Katie Archibald and I'm just casually hanging out with my mates Laura Trott and Marianne Vos on the Revolution Series podium. No biggy."
Fun game, was it my left or right wisdom tooth that was ripped from my person with pliers?

@_suziemccracken Ha, brilliant topic. Probably my ability to crash and not hurt myself, I'd rate that as one of my top skills.

When I asked Katie to contribute to this article on Twitter, she replied. Which is fantastic.

Secondly, it appears she’s in fact a wizard with the ability to remain uninjured after crashing off her bicycle. Like you needed another reason to think she was amazing. Thanks Katie!

Remember that you can vote for Katie (or another female cyclist!) to win Pro-Rider of the Year as part of the Total Women’s Cycling Awards 2015!
