Round 2 of the Women's World Cup will take place in Hamilton, New Zealand tomorrow (March 10). The race is 107.1 kilometres, and will again take place over 17 laps of a fast 6.3 kilometre circuit with a couple of small climbs. After her impressive performance last week in Thredbo, Saturn's Petra Rossner is on target to claim her second World Cup win in a row. She currently leads Australian Rochelle Gilmore and Mirjam Melchers in the standings, and will be difficult to beat in a bunch sprint tomorrow.
On the other hand, a small group could escape on the circuit with the strength of riders such as Susanne Ljungskog, Priska Doppmann and Mirjam Melchers. Look out for the Kiwis, who rode quite well during the Tour de Snowy last week: Rosalind Reekie-May, Melissa Holt and Kirsty Robb will be supported by Sarah Ulmer and Susy Pryde on Sunday.
