Nicole finished 8th in La Fleche Wallone. She launched
the initial attack at the foot of the fearsome Mur De Huy,
splintering the field in the final 1km. Nicole was also
very active on the preceding hills of a race she has won
3 times. Marianne Vos was the 2008 winner.
Nicole put in another strong late
attack in the Ronde Van Vlaaderen World Cup race, this time
to try and bridge from a chasing group to a 2 woman breakaway.
Judith Arndt wasn't caught and won, but Nicole was swept
up be the other chasers just before th line.
She finished 16th, 23 seconds in front of the main peloton.
Nicole finished in the chasing
group of 22 behind Emma Pooley who won the Trofeo Alfreda
Binda by over a minute. Pooley's victory gives her the lead
in the World Cup series after 2 rounds.
Nicole launched a chasing group of 3 after her fellow Brit
had built up a lead of over 2 minutes, but was then swallowed
up by the rest of the chasers to finish 20th in her first
race of the year.
Nicole's full racing schedule
for 2008 is yet to be finalised but check out her schedule
as it stands at the moment.
2008 is an Olympic year and she'll be riding for a new team
organised by British Cycling and sponsored by Halfords under
their Bikehut brand, and will ride bikes from the new Chris
Boardman range.
Nicole will lead the squad
which features 10 women riders, and is delighted to have
the Best of British backing her in the run up to Beijing.
“It’s absolutely fantastic. This will
be the first ever British professional women’s team
and I believe it’s the biggest step forward in women’s
sport in this country for many, many years.”
Full details of January's team launch are available at
British
Cycling.
