The former world and Olympic champion has announced her retirement from road cycling and used the opportunity to attack drug cheats in her sport.
To celebrate the amazing achievements of our female sports stars and to ensure their performances remain in the public eye, Sportsister is launching a special video project called ‘My Favorite Moment In Women’s Sport’.
Marianne Vos of the Netherlands continued her dominance this season by adding the World Road title to her London 2012 Olympic Gold. GB’s Emma Pooley was involved with the main action for much of the race, but missed the winning move and her chances of a medal.
Team GB cyclist Lizzie Armitstead has won Britain’s first medal of the London Olympics with a silver medal in the women’s road race.
There are two road cycling events – the road race and the time trial event.
GB’s Lizzie Armitstead believes victory at this weekend’s Tour of Flanders could help her secure a place in the British Olympic road cycling team.
With a strong solo ride, Lizzie Armitstead won the Gent-Wevelgem road race, on the first occasion the event has ever been staged for women.
On the longest day of this 10 day race, Olympic champion Nicole Cooke, riding for MCipollini Giordana team, secured her first win of 2011 as she crossed the line in Verona first to win stage 5.
We have one copy of Nicole Cooke’s Cycle For Life book and five sets of signed photos of Nicole’s Vision 1 Racing team to give away.
