Along with Canyon-SRAM’s Mikayla Harvey, Fisher-Black is considered one of the top prospects in women’s cycling, but she will have to wait until Paris 2024 to vie for a spot on the Olympic podium. Both Fisher-Black and Harvey would have targeted winning a medal in Tokyo given their rapid rise through the ranks but New Zealand failed to collect enough points to qualify a single spot during the window between October 2018 and 2019 – back when Fisher-Black was still riding as an amateur. In her first season as a professional, the 20-year-old won the national title, finished second on the final stage of the prestigious Giro Rosa, cracked the top 15 at the World Championship and signed a contract with WorldTour heavyweights SD Worx.
