Baxter & Jongewaard dominate Commonwealth Games selection race

Victorian women dominated the first Commonwealth Games Selection Race today. The thirty riders raced five laps of the Commonwealth Games course at Lysterfield in hot conditions. Claire Baxter (Hawthorn) was not challenged and won in a comfortable time of 1.38.41. "I felt really calm cool and collected and together," she said. "I got into a pace early." Baxter's name now goes up for selection in the team of three women to represent Australia.
