Stage 4 - October 12: Mitchelton Winery - Marysville, 172.6km
What a difference a day makes
By John Trevorrow in Marysville
|
After his disqualification in Shepparton, Baden Cooke was picking up his ball and going home. Next day in Marysville he is celebrating his birthday with a brilliant win, beating Poland's Artur Krzeszowiec and HLP/Bicycle Superstore's Karl Menzies.
Cooke's Francaise des Jeux teammates, who kept the breakaways within reach all day, controlled the 172 km stage from Mitchelton Winery to Marysville. The race all came together in the final five kilometres and Cooke was too fast and too powerful in the last uphill 200 m to the line. The team mightn't have given him a birthday present in the morning, but they certainly delivered it in the afternoon.
"The boys really turned themselves inside out today," an ecstatic Cooke said. "It was a really tough finish and they all excelled and really dug deep. It was a great team effort. It doesn't make up for the terrible decision of yesterday and I certainly dedicate this win, not only to my teammates, but to the commissaires. This is for them.
"I thought I'd gone too early and I thought I was too over geared as well as it was fairly steep up there, but I just kept labouring on and luckily no-one came around." Cooke added. "I was so angry after the disqualification, especially when the officials would just not listen to reason. I said to the guys, let's just get out of here. But, once I calmed down I thought I have to think of my teammates who have travelled around the world, as well as Michael Hands, who has put the race together, and especially the sponsor, Jayco Caravans, who does so much for cycling.

"Anyway it got us all a bit fired up and angry and the guys just controlled the race perfectly. But you know I still can't believe that these guys can make a decision from a front on shot filmed 200m ahead that does not show the distances between the riders. Can you imagine the officials in the Melbourne Cup making a decision without seeing if there was actually any interference? Not only that, all of the main players in the bunch said that I was well clear and had nothing to do with the fall. Even Josh Collingwood, who started the proceedings after his crash, said I had nothing to do with it."
Sean Sullivan, Savings & Loans, still holds the leader's yellow jersey on the same time as his teammates Josh Collingwood and Russell Van Hout. "Today was good for us, as Cookie obviously wanted to win and his FDJ team controlled the race which made it much easier for us," Sullivan said.
When asked how he felt his chances were in the all important time trial on Friday, he was more concerned at the challenges around Healesville. "Tomorrow is tough day and this is a quality field, so we've got a lot to worry about before Friday. If the three of us are still in contention at the start of the time trial, then one of us can win. All three of us time trial well and although we're not noted climbers we are all going well.

"We all get on real well and although we race on different teams normally, we have gelled real well in this race. Although there have been some complaints about the results and things, the race has been great. The accommodation and food has been first class and the change to one stage a day is spot on."
Hilton Clarke holds a one point lead over Cooke in the battle for the green sprinters' jersey and both agreed that it will likely be decided on Saturday in Lygon St. "Cookie will keep going for the stages and I will go for the intermediate sprints," Clarke said. "There are not a lot of points up for grabs and not much difference between the bonuses for the sprints and the stage finishes. It should go right down to the wire," Clarke said.
