The organisers of the Thüringen Rundfahrt women's race have presented a cheque for 25,000 Euro (AUD 40,000) to the Amy Gillett Foundation at the official launch of the 2006 event in Zeulenroda. The Foundation was established in the wake of the tragic accident in July this year when an out of control car ploughed into the Australian women's cycling team who were training the day before the start of the Thüringen event. Champion cyclist and rower Amy Gillett was killed in the crash and her five team mates were seriously injured.
