As well as gaining recognition on the track, Victoria has gained a high profile through a couple of glamorous photo shoots. The first photo showed her in an attractive black dress on a Lotus bike. It was certainly a different perspective on a track cyclist, – where tight fitting lycra and bulging muscles are more common. Speaking about the photo shoot, Victoria said:

“I knew when I did the shoot it would stir up opinion, people would be for or against, but I don’t regret the picture at all… Actually I was quite please with the picture, people could see what I am about, that I am not just a track cyclist.” (Daily Telegraph interview 26/03/08)

More recently, Victoria agreed to pose for the Guardian newspaper magazine in a shot reminiscent of a former photo of Lance Armstrong. – Wearing no clothes, but strategically taken.
