Why did you choose this bike/setup?
Well, I began bike polo in Clermont-Ferrand on a 700C frame. Quickly I met the Victoire Crew during a ride. They were working hard with Greg to get the perfect 700 geometry. For me it was an obvious fact, you MUST ride a 700 frame to play bike polo. So I decided to buy one of the first frame building by Victoire Cycle made in my home town !
How long have you played on this bike for? Have you played on anything else?
I’ve ride two 700C bikes one artisanal aluminium road frame, and after a focale 44 track frame !
I just recieved my new velvet fork. Disk brake is awesome ! I ride my Victoire Cycle since this summer.
What are the best things about your bike?
Soooooo compact, light, beautiful blue and made just for me !
What are some recent changes you have made to your bike?
Head set, disk fork, new wheel set.
What are the worst things about your bike? What would you change?
Nothing ! I love it ! I can trick as a 26″, and ride faster !
The first female bike polo tournament in berlin, mallet dolorosa was held in april 2013. It was a single player shuffle tournament. There were 42 girls from all over the world.

What is your best polo memory? My best polo memory so far is probably from the London open last year. It was amazing to get to play over there with all the euro’s and had such a blast with the London ladies of polo I love those girls!!
Where do you see polo in 5 years time? I see polo exploding in the next few years gaining more momentum like the dames and other sports have done. But if it stays the same I will be super happy too honestly I have never been around a group of people like this with anything else I have been involved in! I have made so many connections in the states and abroad it’s amazing.

By now most of you are probably getting a little bit tired of hearing about the Australasian Championships. We really don’t have that many tournaments in Australia and New Zealand as there aren’t that many cities that play.
We want to see what is going on in the rest of the world. Send us your tournament photos!! If you want to write something to go with it, that would be awesome. If you don’t feel like writing anything, just tell us the name of the tournament and where and when it was held. 10 to 15 photos is all we need. Send everything to goalholepolo@gmail.com
The first 10 responses will get sent a GOALHOLE sticker pack!!
ps I will be away from the 1st to the 18th May so I might be a bit slow mailing stuff and getting back to you
