Happy Gilmore steals criterium win
By John Michael Flynn at Port Arlington, Australia
|
Preparing to defend her 2005 Geelong World Cup Victory, Australia's Rochelle Gilmore (Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan) showed her form is headed in the right direction by stealing a victory on the line of today's second stage criterium at the Geelong Tour.
Without the help of the lead-out trains of her rivals from T-Mobile and Nürnberger, Gilmore was forced to do it alone, but in the end the Australian star of track and road did it in style.
"It was pretty fast, you had the Nürnberger and T-Mobile girls up there trying to get a lead out for their riders," Gilmore recalled of the uphill dash to the finish.
"It was obvious that Oenone (Wood) and Ina Teutenberg would be the two fastest sprinters there.
"I just felt confident at the finish with a lap to go, I knew that I'd done the work the last few weeks I've had a good preparation."
The picturesque yet demanding course on the Port Arlington waterfront saw competitors embark on thirty laps of the one kilometre street circuit and it was the New Zealanders, defending their podium position from the opening time trial stage, who set a cracking pace from the outset.
Riding herself into the ground after finishing a solid sixth in the morning's time trial, Olympic track gold medalist Sarah Ulmer quickly showed why she will be one of the riders to watch at the up-coming Commonwealth Games.

Ulmer's driving from the front in the opening laps sent dozens of riders out the back door, ensuring only the serious contenders were left to contest the second stage.
Nürnberger's new recruit for 2006, Australian road champion Kate Bates worked tirelessly for her team, burying herself to set up a stage victory for team-mate and reigning World Cup champion Oenone Wood. But on this day it wasn't to be.
Bates reeled in several attempted moves, including a spirited attack from team U.S.A. but the final sprint didn't go exactly to plan for Nürnberger.
"I stuffed the sprint a little bit this afternoon, I ran into Ina's (Teutenberg) back wheel and luckily I held it up but it didn't help me for the finish," Wood revealed post-stage. "Kate Bates turned out to be a pretty good team-mate. After today I think the kiwis, like the Aussies, have done a little bit of criterium racing, and I think they're in good form and looking forward to some good racing before the Commonwealth Games."
An exhausted Sarah Ulmer wasn't as pleased with the New Zealand team's criterium result."We were trying to look after our race leader," said Ulmer. "Unfortunately the finish was a little bit fast for me."
|
T-Mobile's Ina Teutenberg, who has been in Australia since October, was offering no excuses for not winning the sprint. "I was up there in the sprint," Teutenberg said. "I just after one hundred and fifty metres, my legs couldn't do anything more and Rochelle just came flying by."
Soeder retains leaders jersey - Wood and Gilmore both impressive
With the first day of the Geelong Tour drawing to a close, Austrian Christiane Soeder, who won today's time trial, holds onto the leaders jersey by the barest of margins.
But the performances of both World Cup Champion Oenone Wood and defending Geelong Word Cup winner Rochelle Gilmore, have provided just a hint of what is to come.
Wood, whose Nürnberger team has come to Geelong with an embarrassment of riches, is clearly focused for the weekend event as she begins a campaign for her third consecutive World Cup crown.
"I was more happy with this morning just to have a good hit-out this morning (in the time trial," Wood said.
"I've got the World Cup at the end of this week, that's a major goal, the World Cup and the Comm Games and then the rest of the European season."
|
But a perusal of the team sheets for the Geelong Women's Tour and World Cup event suggests Wood will have her work cut out.
The field for both events is arguably the strongest yet for Australia's round of the Women's Road Race World Cup.
"We want to win it this weekend, so that's going to be a big ask because there's a lot of awesome riders here," Wood admitted.
"More than any other year they've got a really good representation from European riders and Asian countries are well represented as well."
Zemke holding the aces
Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung Directeur Sportif Jens Zemke may not hold all the aces for the Geelong Tour and Geelong World Cup, but rival teams could be mistaken for feeling the German Team Manager is dealing from a stacked deck.
The addition of Australian Road and Track Champion Kate Bates to a team already boasting the World Cup Champion, among others, gives Nürnberger numerous options, more perhaps than any of their rival teams.
"This tour here, tour of Geelong it's like a warm-up for us," Zemke told Cyclingnews.
"With Oenone Wood a past winner of overall in the World Cup and also with Kate Bates and Trixi Worrack and the German horsepower, we can play some tactics here.
"We haven't only one captain, we have three really good girls and the others can support them."
|
Without the benefits of a strong team, Rochelle Gilmore on the other hand knows she will have to fight for wheels with the girls from Nürnberger and T-Mobile, if her goal of defending the Geelong World Cup is to come to fruition.
"I've been training down on the Great Ocean Road with Phil Anderson on the hills down there and then out with Simon Gillett who's one of the strongest guys I've ever trained with." Gilmore said of her early season preparation.
"Coming up against the Nürnberger train and the T-Mobile train is pretty scary, they're going to have three or four girls there at the finish leading out the sprinters, it's going to be a bit tough in the last kilometres."
The Geelong Women's Tour continues tomorrow with a 76 kilometre road stage beginning at Barwon heads.
The tour concludes on Thursday with a 112 kilometre road stage, starting and finishing in the rural hamlet of Lara.
