2004 Olympic gold medallist Sara Carrigan will take part in the Cronulla International Cycle Grand Prix on Sunday. The 26 year old Carrigan, who took a short break from cycling to work on her Bachelor of Education, will be matched against her Commonwealth Games gold medal winning teammates Kate and Natalie Bates, as well as World Cup winner Rochelle Gilmore, former World Junior Champion Skye-Lee Armstrong and one of Australia’s fastest women cyclists Kaarle McCulloch. The women’s grand prix will be 18 laps of a testing 1.34 kilometre circuit and will start at 10.40 am.
Robbie McEwen, who has been showing fine off-season form in recent weeks, is taking no chances in the Horsell International Grand Prix and has enlisted further help from Jason Phillips, the seasoned professional with the German team Heinz von Heiden. Phillips is a recent winner in a Grand Prix in Queensland and completes a formidable trio along with Nick Gates, winner of the Surfers Paradise Grand Prix.
