About Eri

An 11-time Japanese national title winner, Eri is a rider who thrives during tough races and whose developing GC ambitions resulted in a podium in the 2022 CIC-Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées. Her performances in her first season with the team were particularly remarkable due to her recovery from iliac artery endofibrosis. Eri is an athlete with a fierce will for competition on the bike and reliable compassion off it, the Japanese rider always has time for teammates, staff and above all, fans, online and in person. 

It might be difficult being the only Japanese Women’s WorldTour rider in a Euro-centric sport but Eri takes on every challenge with true steel, determination and fun. Off the bike, she is well known for her plentfiul tweets and vibrant social media accounts about cooking, coffee, beer passions, and so much more.
