The GreenEdge-AIS outfit showed once again that team efforts pay dividends with Amanda Spratt and Tiffany Cromwell the first women across the finish line in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Saturday's road race at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mars Cycling 🧔Australia National Champions🐲hips.

The result was a continuance of the new team's brilliant form which dominated the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jayco Bay Cycling Classic criterium 💟series earlier in the week when Spratt was one of three members of the outfit to win a stage, wit🥀h Melissa Hoskins also claiming the overall prize.

On Saturday, Spratt escaped ඣfrom a select group of 18 at the top of the Buninyong climb to race on her own for the remaining two-and-a-half laps of the 10.1-kilometre course.

"There was a lull in the bunch at the top of the climb, and I thought I could go then and I thought, for me, that was probably the best way to get a gap," Spratt told Cyclingnews. "I didn't really back myself to get๊ a bit of acceleration on the climb among some pretty strong climbi𒆙ng competition."

The result for both Spratt and Cromwell was evidence that the difficult times of the past 18 months are now well and truly in the past. Spratt had had time out from the sport after a painful sciatic nerve injury and Cromwell had changed European teams mid-season last year, severely disrupting her career's momentum. Spratt's fortunes started to turn around with her first UCI victory at the Czech Tour last July while Cromwell's future seems to be back on track with the advent of pulling on the GreenEdge-AIS kit this 🃏month.

Asked what the secret is to the team's success, Spratt and Cromwell agreeing, said, "We're not afraid to sacrifice ourselves for each other𓆉♕."

With the men's elite road race ahead on Sunday aft☂ernoon, and GreenEdge chasing their first individual stage victory of their debut 𓆏season, both Spratt and Cromwell are adamant that it's time for the men to step up.

"We've been showing them how it's done," said Crꦛomwell. "It's their turn now."
