COURAGEOUS Australians cyclists — including Tasmania’s Amy Cure and Georgia Baker — have the chance to ride for a medal this weekend after defying bumps and bruises to finish in the top four of qualifying in the women’s team pursuit.
After a horror crash in training sent the members of our women’s pursuit team flying — leaving teammate Melissa Hoskins writhing in agony — our girls have stepped up in the competition proper.
Cure, 23, and Baker, 21, were shocked, bruised and had “track burn”. Australian officials said the girls were shaken but not stirred.
