Tasmanian Institute of Sport cycling coach Matthew Gilmore believes Amy Cure is on the cusp of some serious success at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
Cure has been confirmed as a starter in Australia’s team pursuit line-up with Ashlee Ankudinoff, Annette Edmondson and Alex Manly when competition begins at Brisbane’s Anna Meares Velodrome on Thursday, with Launceston’s Georgia Baker and Rebecca Wiasak missing out as the event makes its Games debut.
Gold Coast will mark Cure’s second appearance at a Commonwealth Games, with Gilmore confident the 25-year-old from West Pine was a more well-rounded cyclist than the one who won silver in the scratch race and bronze in the individual pursuit in Glasgow four years ago.
“She has come a long way for sure, mainly because of the experience she has gained in those four years,’’ Gilmore said of the dual Olympian and multiple world champion medalist.
