Scott Sunderland Update

We were wondering if you are in Europe or not, but we agreed you'd let us know if that would be the case. So, I am sending you a few lines on what has happened the last few weeks.

Things are still hectic. Now the journalists are full on concentrating on the World Cup soccer, we get less telephone calls but the time spent on the phone is replaced by time spent in the hospital.

Scotts' rehab program now takes up to five hours a day ; this includes masages, excercises and training on the home trainer. He is still not allowed to go out by himself on the road but he is happy to go for an hour when somebody can ride along. He has to have the mobile phone on him at all times. The doctors are still worried about that nasty whiplash.

Today, we went to see one of the neurolgists who operated on Scott. We found out that Scott had a hairline fracture also, along the right side, around the ear. Dr. Impiana said he did not understand how on earth it was possible that that was not seen on the photos by the doctors in Maastricht, he has written three letters so far to the Dutch hospital to ask for explanation... to be continued.

Anyway, it felt really strange to hear that Scott was actually closer to his death than we knew already. The doctor did not go into details at that time, as he knew Scott would have to rest a long time anyway and the hairline fracture did not cause any further worries after the second scan he had taken.

Within days to come, Scott will have to undergo some more tests and a scan which will be performed for the very first time in Ghent (they only got the scanner recently), it is a specific scan of his forehead ; Scott has still more problems with his sense of smell than what is considered normal at this time. Although dr. Impiana was pretty wound up about the fact that he would be the first doctor to make use of this specific scan material, we did not really like the worried tone in his voice when he said it is strange Scott has still problems.

Besides all of that, I can say Scott is getting better every day. His aggressive moods seem to get less and less, the sports psychologist is working wonders with him, I think it might be a good idea for me to go and see him as I feel my anger towards the TVM party getting bigger and bigger, not healthy at all.

We feel so helpless at times, especially because the TVM people are behaving like a bunch of #$^%$^&!

But, things are getting more rosy and we try to stay positive, it's the only way. Scott is still sure he will be racing in september, I keep my fingers crossed.

Till soon, Sabine

New Velodrome on the Gold Coast

In the interview Henk said the criterium circuit was awsome! and he doubted that we would see many bunch finishes, he also went on to say that when the circuit was finished the facilities at the veledrome would be world class and would likely attract riders and teams from overseas to use these facilities on the Coast, already the British Olympic team has indicated they would set up base here for their pre games preparation and may indeed look at using the facilities for pre season training after 2000.

Already the circuit is booked for the Asia masters games later this year and there is likely to be an international crit to be run in the same week as the one due for Brisbane early next year.

Further information on the complex can be sought by contacting the facilities development officer, Stewart Williams at (ezitour@ausinfo.com.au)

Jonathan Hall to ride for Festina

Jonathan Hall, the World Duathlon Champion and dual Australian Road Cycling champion, signed as a professional cyclist with the World’s leading professional cycling team Festina this week.

Hall hit the headlines last year after winning the World Duathlon Championship and then backed up to finish 8th in the World Time Trial championship in front of some of the biggest names in world cycling.

A month later Hall contested the 1997 Commonwealth Bank Cycle Classic and won three stages, an incredible performance against some of the world’s best cyclists.

Hall continued to dominate the Australian cycling scene when he became the first cyclist to win the Australian Road Championship and Australian Time Trial title in the same year.

The 26 year old from Wollongong returned to Spain with his new wife in February and this year picked up where he left off last year - winning a long list of major races.

Since 19 March, Hall has won 13 major races and has collected King of the Mountain titles in most of the tours in Spain. Several professional teams were negotiating with Hall but it was Festina that was the most appealing.

Hall said "Having Neil Stephens in Festina was a great help and he has assisted me to fit in with the team". Hall also added "Also a member of the team is the 1997 Commonwealth Bank Cycle Classic winner Andrei Kivilev, who signed with Festina after winning the Classic".

Hall will be a member of the Festina team for the next two and a half years and will have his last amateur race on the 8th -12th July with the National squad.

"Jono’s" professional career will start with some big races including the Grand Prix Eddy Merckx, Grand Prix des Nations, Homburg World Cup and the GP Swiss, another round of the World Cup.

There is little doubt that Hall has been selected for his outstanding climbing and time trial ability and joins not just Neil Stephens but also Tour de France stars Richard Virenque, Laurent Brochard, Alex Zulle and many others in Festina, the winning team of the 1997 Tour de France.

Hall, one of the hot favourites to win gold at the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia, will return after the world championships in Holland in a bid to win Australia’s premier cycling event, the Commonwealth Bank Cycle Classic.

USA, U.S. National Elite Criterium Championships, June 28

In humid, hot conditions - as has been the norm throughout the championships - Demet lapped the women’s field with 17 laps remaining in the 38-lap event. Demet had rolled off the front of the field with Annette Kamm (Fuji Racing) only four laps into the race. Only two laps later, Demet was alone on the 1.4 km circuit and the Saturn dominance of the race was underway.

The Saturn squad, with five strong riders in the race, had a numbers advantage on every other team. It was rapidly apparent as Demet’s lead grew to 45 seconds within the next six laps.

"I decided to just go for it," Demet said. "I didn’t really plan on going early."

It rapidly became apparent that Demet was going to lap the field, so Saturn started working to move riders into position to take the next places. With her teammates Emily Robbins and Karen Kurreck at the front, defending champion Karen Bliss Livingston took the first shot, followed by Kurreck, who was joined by Kendra Wenzel (Saeco-Timex). As Demet closed in on the back of the field with 20 laps to go, Kurreck and Wenzel built a 53-second lead on the field. At this point, Demet was going the opposite direction on the bridge linking the criterium’s two circuits as Wenzel and Kurreck crossed.

"My goal was to lap the field," Demet said. "I was gaining on them really fast."

As Demet caught the back of the field, gaining a lap and effectively ending the race for first place, another Saturn rider, Elizabeth Emery, attacked from the field, quickly joining Kurreck and Wenzel. Livingston followed soon after.

"Every time I turned around, there was another one," Wenzel said.

Kurreck then attacked, moving into second place on the road.

Showing her strength on the day, Demet quickly worked through the field and bridged up to her teammates and Wenzel, bringing Tana Stone (Einstein’s) and Cheryl Binney (Ralph’s Klein). With Demet having locked up the title, the other spots were the only things in doubt.

Kurreck kept her margin to secure second, leaving five riders to battle for three spots. Wenzel led heading into the final lap, but she couldn’t overcome the Saturn train. Livingston took the sprint for third, followed by Emery. Wenzel held on for fifth.

The win is the fourth career national title -- first in the criterium -- for Demet, 25, who also made podium appearances in the individual time trial and road race during these championships. She also took over the lead in the U.S. National Racing Calendar standings, the system used to rank elite cyclists competing in the United States.

Women:

1. Dede Demet (Saturn), Boulder, Colo.; 2. Karen Kurreck (Saturn), Cupertino,
Calif.; 3. Karen Bliss Livingston (Saturn), Gainesville, Fla.; 4. Elizabeth

After lapping the field together, Derek Wilkerson (BMC- WalMart) beat Jim Copeland (Colorado Cyclist) to win the U.S. Elite Men’s Criterium Championship title.

In muggy conditions, a field of 135 of the country’s top amateur riders started the 55-lap race over the 0.9-mile, two circuit course. With 12 laps remaining, Copeland broke free from a group of 15 riders. Within two laps, Wilkerson joined him. Soon, the pair was in sight of the back of the field, which they joined with six laps remaining.

"He was going to do it, whether I did it or not," said Copeland, who had been near the front for almost all of Saturday’s 120-mile road race.

Over the final five laps, it became a duel between Copeland and Wilkerson as they worked their way through the 35-rider field.

"It was just hectic," Wilkerson said. "He was right on my wheel with four laps to go. We were playing cat and mouse."

Heading over the bridge across the Little Miami River for the final time, Copeland had the edge, but Wilkerson passed him in the final 300 meters.

"He was just faster than me," Copleland said.

It is the first senior national title for Wilkerson, 19, who competed at the Junior World Championships last year. "I hope to get good one day," he said.

Men, 55 laps:

1. Derek Wilkerson (BMC-Walmart), San Antonio, Fla.; 2. Jim Copeland (Colorado
Cyclist), Colorado Springs, Colo.; 3. Kevin Monahan (Breakaway), Northampton,

Interview with Henk Vogels, Grandstand, June 27

KAREN TIGHE: Henk Vogels is currently in Australia receiving treatment for back and knee injuries which have put him out of next months Tour de France and because he won't be racing for GAN there the team wants him to compete for them in the Tour of Spain which will be held in September, the same month as the Commonwealth Games. Henk Vogels joins me now on "Grandstand". Henk, good morning.

HENK VOGELS: Good morning, Karen.

KAREN TIGHE: Well, Henk, what's the story. You've been directed by your professional team in France, GAN, that you won't be able to represent Australia at this years Commonwealth Games.

HENK VOGELS: That's right. I mean my team is paying me to ride the Tour of Spain and that's on at the same time, and because of my inclusion in the Tour my team has directed me not to go to the Commonwealth Games due to my commitments in Europe which is very disappointing because for an Australian to win a Commonwealth Games medal is a very important thing. But, to a European boss it means nothing to him. So, I just have to roll with the punches I think.

KAREN TIGHE: Well, disappointment for you. We had Matt White in the studio last saturday and he was saying similar sentiments about trying to explain to explain the significance of the Commonwealth Games to his professional team in Italy. Is that a similar situation with you?

HENK VOGELS: Yes. Exactly. When I spoke to my boss about the Commonwealth Games to see if I could get a clearance to go there he said, "Can the team ride in the GAN shirts?" I mean they have no idea about it. The Europeans don't know what the Commonwealth Games are. And when they are paying you money each month to ride, then if they can't ride in the GAN they're not really interested anyway. They would have let me go anyway if I'd ridden the Tour. Like Stuart O'Grady is going to go. He's got a clearance from the team but he's going to ride the Tour de France. So, really my time to get my results in Europe is in September when the Commonwealth Games are on. So, it's a pity but maybe it's a godsend for the World Championships which is in Holland in October. I'm half Dutch so hopefully we can do something there. I'll be riding for Australia there.

KAREN TIGHE: And Henk have you had any reaction from the Australian Cycling Federation?

HENK VOGELS: Well, actually they don't know about it. They may even find out on the radio today.

KAREN TIGHE: Well, Henk, disappointment for you, and we'll attempt to get in contact with somebody from the Australian Cycling Federation for their reaction. You're back here in Australia for two weeks for intensive physio treatment for some injuries that have put you out of this years Tour de France, with Australian physio Victor Popov. how has that gone over the last week?

HENK VOGELS: apart from the jetlag it's been somewhat painful, I can tell you that. I've been working with him on my back mainly. I had a couple of crashes in May and that seemed to have been the problem. He worked the knee, and said that the knee was fine. But, we tried to find out where the problem was and it was coming from some damage done in the crash in my back. I've got some damage from an old injury which is a stress fracture in my back and we've been working on that a lot this week.

KAREN TIGHE: So, your back and also your right knee was causing problems, wasn't it?

HENK VOGELS: It was actually bursitis - a sac of fluid under the tendon that keeps it running smoothly over the knee - and that was inflamed due to a lot of pelvis and lower back problems, so Victor has been mainly working on that. It was great that I came back here because no one really knew what was going on over there and to come back here and be told straight away that was the problem was good for the head as well.

KAREN TIGHE: So, Victor Popov must be pretty special for you to make this long trip back to Australia?

HENK VOGELS: Oh, definitely. He knows my history. He knows me inside and out. He's the guy who diagnosed my stress fracture. He knows everything about me so just on that note he's ahead of anyone else and also he's one of the best physio's in Australia to work with and also a personal friend.

KAREN TIGHE: And Henk, how much longer will you be having treatment with Victor?

HENK VOGELS: I'm actually...I've been working with him since Sunday and I'll be working with him until next Friday, spend a few days at home with Mum and Dad, and then nick off back to Toulouse. Where I'll actually catch up with Victor because he's coming over to Europe for a holiday so he's going to catch up with me and check my progress there.

KAREN TIGHE: And when will you be hoping to get back on the bike again?

HENK VOGELS: I actually jumped on my bike for 45 minutes to an hour this morning just very easily. I had no trouble with the knee but the back is still troubling me somewhat so I've got to take it VERY easy for the next two weeks.

KAREN TIGHE: I know we mentioned this last week, but just what is the frustration like knowing you won't be able to compete in this years Tour de France?

HENK VOGELS: Well, I'll have to stay away from television, I think, because that'll just make me more frustrated. But, it's a pity. Seeing I went into my Tour debut last year and was very strong. And to be tipped as somebody who can win a stage, then to be told by your director just three weeks before that it's just not possible is something that is very disappointing. I had a very good conversation before I left to come to Australia, with my boss, and he assured me that they'll be building the team around me for the Tour of Spain and the World Cup races after the Tour de France so that's something good in the head for motivation for the next six months.

KAREN TIGHE: When does the Tour of Spain get underway?

HENK VOGELS: That starts in early September, so hopefully I should be back and swinging by then.

KAREN TIGHE: Henk, good luck for that, and tell Victor not to hurt you too much.

HENK VOGELS: I'm sure he will be hurting me the next week, but I'll try and tell him that and you try to tell him, but it's not possible.

KAREN TIGHE: Henk Vogel thanks very much for your time on "Grandstand" and a speedy recovery to you.

HENK VOGELS: Thanks a lot, Karen.

KAREN TIGHE: Australian cyclist, Henk Vogels, and in regard to the Commonwealth Games we are trying to get in touch with a representative from the Australian Cycling Federation this morning, hopefully President Ray Godkin. disappointing news for Henk Vogels in relation to the Commonwealth Games in KL later in the year.
