Wellington World Cup's future looking good

The organisers of the Wellington leg of the women's cycling World Cup believe the success of last Sunday's race will ensure the future of the event in the New Zealand. Race organiser Jorge Sandoval, who has a five-year contract with the UCI to run the event, said positive feedback has been flooding in from around Wellington and around the country and also from overseas.

"Everyone involved did a fantastic job - the organising team, the city council and police - everyone," he commented."We got perfect weather and big crowds, and the race was won by a Kiwi girl, Sarah Ulmer, who is a crowd favourite. We couldn't have asked for anything more."
