WTCS Sunderland 2023 start list and bib numbers for Elite Women

French stars Cassandre Beaugrand and Emma Lombardi head the women’s start list for the first edition of WTCS Sunderland this weekend.

The pair have both tasted success on the WTCS circuit already this season, and will start among the favourites for another win on Saturday.

Kiwi Nicole Van Der Kaay, who swept the domestic scene Down Under before starting her European campaign, is the next best ranked athlete, with Swiss star Cathia Schar another young gun hoping to make an impact.

Only Olivia Mathias will fly the flag for Great Britain in the North East this weekend, as the rest of the British team are battling injury or finalising preparations for the Paris Olympic Test Event.

Here is the full start list for the action in the North East of England.
