the women's Aussie Cup is an exciting match


A tense competition is the least you can call the Aussie Cup for women. After eleven races we have a new leader. Rochelle Gilmore of the Lotto Ladies team (reading the Aussie Cup flyer with Vicki on the picture) took over the lead from Ruth Corset after the Energiewacht Tour in Holland. On top of that she scored another five points in the Drentse 8.
A group of six girls formed at the top with more then 30 points now, and then closely followed by a whole bunch of riders that take points at a regular time in the European races.
In the coming weeks the girls will be racing in Belgium and Holland.
It is about time that an Aussie girl can drab the flowers in Belgium, cause for the moment the races have been dominated by Marianne Vos and Emma Johansson.
the actual ranking:
1. Gilmore Rochelle - 66 pts
2. Corset Ruth - 56 pts
3. Gillow Shara - 47 pts
4. Rhodes Alexis - 39 pts
5. Whitelaw Vicky - 35 pts

Amy Cure also scored her first point. But she raced the track before come to Belgium, same for the pointless Katherine Bates and Jospehine Tomic.
