Famed Tour de France soigneur Shelley Verses will share her unique insight from her time spent on the European men's pro cycling circuit as part of a free presentation in Santa Barbara.

In part 1 of the Shelley Verses story, Ed Hood took us through Shelley's break through on to the European Pro scene. In part 2 she returns to the US for a new life, but with many memories of star riders and top races: Francesco Moser's massage, the Italian fans and who had the best legs.

Shelley Verses was the first female soigneur to work on a top professional team in Europe. This was at a time when most team managers still thought a woman's place was at home making the soup. This is her story of that break through as told to Ed Hood.
