World Cup Champion Oenone Wood and her Nürnberger Team will head into Sunday's Geelong World Cup race brimming with confidence after the Australian claimed overall victory in the Geelong Women's Tour.

Wood crossed the line in third place at the end of today's 112 kilometre road stage, behind T-Mobile's Ina Teutenberg and New Zealander Melissa Holt. It's the third year in succession the two-time World Cup champion has won the Geelong Tour. On each occasion Wood has claimed both the general classification and sprint points jerseys.

Today's fourth stage, which included a punishing climb mid-race was eventful from the outset, with several crashes, including one which has left Canadian Commonwealth Games hope Lyne Bessette with a suspected broken collar bone.

"Our team really had to work hard to chase everything today," Wood told Cyclingnews after dousing her T-Mobile rival Teutenberg in champagne. "Towards the finish I just to hang on to make sure Melissa Holt didn't get too many points on me."

Teutenberg was also ecstatic with her stage win, having survived the suffering on the punishing climb earlier in the day.

"That was hard today, but I'm happy that I've got it done now," Teutenberg said. "It was steep, I've only heard stories before. I made it up without walking so that was at least one thing.

How it unfolded

Stage four of the Geelong Tour took the elite of women's cycling on a 112 kilometre journey, starting and finishing in the village of Lara, near Geelong. There were two notable omissions from the field, with two previous stage winners, Rochelle Gilmore (Safi Pasta Zara Manhattan) and Univega's Christiane Soeder withdrawing after being caught up in yesterday's crash at the finish. To her credit a very sore Russian Svetlana Bubninkova managed to climb back into the saddle, with her cuts and bruises from yesterday's crash patched up.

The parcours for the final stage of the Geelong Tour is well known and well feared among the women's peloton, mostly thanks to a short but brutal two kilometre pinch climb at the 50 kilometre mark. Directeur Sportifs 'in the know' fitted team bikes with 27 tooth rear clusters, in order to avoid the prospect of riders being forced to get off and walk.

There was trouble early for the Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung team, when race leader and World Cup Champion Oenone Wood missed the jump on a breakaway containing twelve riders, several of them threats in the overall classification.

"I missed a couple of the early breaks," Wood admitted. "More so just because I had poor position at the back of the bunch, on the smaller roads, you just can't get through."

Wood's team-mates, including Australian Road Champion Kate Bates were forced to work over-time to keep the defending Geelong Tour Champion in contention. "We had a pretty hard day actually as a team," Bates told Cyclingnews at race end. "A few breaks went early and we spent about 70 percent of the time on the front as a team. Leading into the hill we didn't expect many of us to be left."

The hellish climb took its toll on many of the riders, but to their credit, the majority of cyclists in the peloton managed to stay clipped into the pedals until the summit. At the front, Oenone Wood showed once again why she should be considered a favourite, both for Sunday's World Cup race and to defend her overall World Cup Championship.

Wood showed yet again that her climbing skills are easily the match of her sprint skills. The Nürnberger team leader led the strung out group over the climb, with team U.S.A.'s Kristin Armstrong, New Zealand's Rosara Joseph, Elk Haus rider Annette Beutler, and Nobili Rubineterie's Olivia Gollan among the leaders.

The 'usual suspects' of the pro women's peloton were also up there, with T-Mobile's Judith Arndt and Lyne Bessette making it over the top in the first group of riders, along with Wood's team-mates Kate Bates and Trixi Worrack.

Stage win soured by crash for T-Mobile

For T-Mobile the hill would be the least of the team's worries. The second half of the 112 kilometre stage was littered with crashes, the worst of them taking out team members Judith Arndt and Lyne Bessette, along with Australia's Natalie Bates(N.S.W.I.S.).

Bessette was left on the bitumen screaming in pain, her Geelong World Cup campaign over and her Commonwealth Games aspirations for Canada seriously in doubt.

"We lost Lyne in the crash, and it didn't really look that good," team-mate and stage winner Ina Teutenberg said.

For Bates, it was her second crash in as many days and her third in two weeks. Yesterday the New South Wales Institute of Sport cyclist was caught up in the pre finish line incident at Barwon Heads. Today it was more of the same.

"I've had a shocker actually," Bates said of her Geelong Tour for 2006. "I had a crash in training a couple of weeks ago and I did make the comment at the time that I haven't probably fallen off in years, it's probably jinxed me for sure."

Kiwis attack - U.S.A. Team misfires in sprint

After managing to avoid the on-road incidents, both the New Zealand and U.S.A. national teams looked to be firmly in contention in the final kilometres of today's final stage.

The New Zealanders managed to annoy their Australian rivals as only kiwis can, by sending riders up the road in the final kilometres. With almost enough cyclists in black jerseys to field a rugby team, an attack by New Zealand's Michelle Hyland with four kilometres to go spelt danger for Oenone Wood.

"I don't know how many New Zealanders were in this race but they seemed to be everywhere," Wood said

The jerseys of the stars and stripes were also prominent at the front end of the peloton, but a miss-timed sprint by yesterday's stage winner Tina Mayolo-Pic proved costly.

"We kind of started the lead-out early and we got a bit swarmed around the last corner," the U.S. criterium champion told Cyclingnews. "We were down to one person and Kristin (Armstrong) was going awesome, but it was just too far by the time she blew and people started to come around."

Ina Teutenberg took full advantage of the situation. T-Mobile's champion sprinter continuing her impressive Geelong Tour. A stage win today completing the full-set of podium positions, following yesterday's third placing and second in Tuesday's criterium.

"The U.S. team did a perfect lead-out for Tina but then Sarah Ulmer came by with 400 to go and then Tina got a little nervous," Ina recalled of the final seconds in the race. "She started sprinting already and I was on her wheel and then she perfectly led me out and I could just go to the front with 150 to go and hold it up."

Best ever performance for Nichols - Rhodes also ready for Geelong World Cup

Perhaps the most inspiring story to emerge from the three day Geelong Tour was the performance of New South Wales Institute of Sport cyclist Kate Nichols.

A member of the A.I.S. team involved in last July's tragedy in Germany, Nichols return to racing continues to build momentum and there was no wiping the smile from her face after claiming one of the intermediate sprints during today's stage.

"I've been really pleased with the tour I think it's my best ever," a beaming Nichols told Cyclingnews. "I'm stoked with how I went in the prologue and I was up there in the crit. In a few road stages I picked up a few sprint points just to try and move up a few places on G.C. and finish in that top ten."

It's been a huge week for the young Australian who is still getting used to competing with Olympic and World Championships and more to the point being up there with them on the road.

"Obviously it's their off season but it's amazing to be amongst them," Nichols said. "I had a go in all areas of the racing, I'm in amongst it and I'm looking forward to the World Cup. Hopefully it'll be tough because that's how I like it."

Fellow A.I.S. cyclist Alexis Rhodes will also compete in Sunday's Geelong World Cup after enjoying a mixed bag in the three day Geelong Tour.

Today's final stage turned out to be a hard day at the office for the South Australian, whose comeback to the sport has already brought a national criterium championship and medals at the recent national track championships.

"Yesterday was not a bad day for me, today I had a bit of bad luck," Rhodes said. "Someone ran into my rear wheel and pushed it into my frame and I thought I'd broken a spoke, so I sort of stopped and fixed it up. Got back on, then I punctured at the bottom of the hill."

As one of the senior Australian rider in the peloton sees it, the likes of Alexis Rhodes and Kate Nichols can only benefit from racing the Geelong Tour and Geelong World Cup.

Nobili Rubinetterie's Olivia Gollan, the winner of the first Geelong Tour, might not have climbed onto the podium on this occasion, but the presence of such a high class field has been something to celebrate in itself.

"It's really good actually, this is the strongest field I've ever seen in Australia," Gollan told Cyclingnews. "It's so cool to be racing in my home country with 150 girls, most of whom are international. I feel like I'm racing Milan-San Remo."
