Cyclingnews 2004 Reader Poll Results
Best Female road rider
|
German Judith Arndt has been one of the most consistent female road cyclists over the past few years winning race after race with her allround capabilites of both time trialing and climbing making her both a good one day rider and tour rider. This year she finally realised her dream and won her first world title on the road, coming back after an extra-ordinary performance in the Olympic road race that earned her a silver medal. She is well known in the women's peloton as one of the best female riders to date and is respected as an excellent tactician and team player.
Aside from her riding this year Arndt earned herself a name as one of the more expressive riders in the field and took out this years Cyclingnews reader poll by a convincing gap to Welsh hero Nicole Cooke. Coming in third was Australia's Oenone Wood who had a brilliant year to take our the Women's World Cup Series.
