Nicole Cooke reaffirmed her position as the #1 ranked women's cyclist by winning the Geelong Women's Tour down under. This may sound like a cliche, but the Welsh star was certainly the class of the field as she held off Larissa Kleinmann from Germany (more on Larissa later) and the entire T-Mobile Women's Team (more on them later, as well). The USA was well represented by teammates, Dotsie Bausch and Tina Pic (Colavita/Sutter Home) who each won a stage, while both finishing in the top 10. Bausch ran into some misfortune, missing her opportunity to finish on the podium, or even win, as she was caught behind a crash in the final stage. Before the crash, she was well placed at merely 8 seconds back of Cooke and 1 second back of Kleinmann. Next up for the women, the Geelong World Cup.
