Perspective
Shapira rode in the women's time trial event at the 2018 UCI Road World Championships.[6]
Canyon–SRAM (2019–21)
For the 2019 season, Shapira joined the Canyon–SRAM team.[7]
In March, she came in second at the Scorpions' Pass Time Trial and third at the Aphrodite Cycling Race Individual Time Trial, and in August, she came in third overall at the Colorado Classic.[8][9][10] In September, Shapira finished 13th of 53 cyclists in the 30.3-kilometre (18.8-mile) time trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Great Britain.[11]
In doing so, she guaranteed Israel a place at the women's time trial contest in the 2020 Summer Olympics. Ultimately delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Shapira represented Israel in both the time trial and the road race. In the road race, Shapira was in a pack at the front for most of the race only to be overhauled by the chasing pack in the final moments; she finished in 24th place.[12] In the time trial, Shapira finished in 15th place.[13]
EF Education–Tibco–SVB
After three seasons with Canyon–SRAM, Shapira moved to the EF Education–Tibco–SVB team for the 2022 season.[14] In her first season with the team, she won both Israeli national road championship titles – her second in the time trial, and her sixth consecutive title in the road race.[15][16]
