 Nicole Cooke delighted with her new bike for Beijing |
Nicole Cooke has been supplied with a new bike especially for the Beijing Olympics next month. The Welsh medal contender heads to China armed with the state-of-the-art bike combining full carbon fibre frame and race-ready specification. Cooke's Halfords and Great Britain team-mate Sharon Laws will also receive the new bike. "I'm really looking forward to putting it through its paces in training and racing," said Cooke.  | 606: DEBATE |
"It's really great and feels very light. Just from initial riding you can tell the geometry is perfect, and it handles beautifully.'' Four years ago in Athens 25-year-old Cooke came a very creditable fifth in the women's road race and 19th in the women's road time trial. Chris Boardman, creator of the Boardman bikes range, said: "We wanted to give Nicole and Sharon something extra special for the road race in Beijing.''
