Ally Wollaston (FDJ-Suez) claimed the first win of the season for her new team FDJ-Suez, charging across the line ahead of Chloe Dygert (Canyon-SRAM) with an assured sprint at the first edition of the women’s 1.1 ranked women’s Surf Coast Classic – a 118km mid-week race to kick off the action before Saturday’s Women’s WorldTour event at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.
The rider from New Zealand had already made it obvious in South Australia that she had the form, winning the bunch sprint for second place on stage 1 of the Santos Tour Down Under.
“Getting back after my injury at the end of last year I thought my role would be as more of a domestique over the summer but these opportunities came up within the team and I’m just really happy to be on the podium,” said Baker, who added that the Australian squad had worked hard for her all day.
