Georgia Baker has capped a faultless Australian team effort to win the Commonwealth Games women’s road race.
Key points:
- Baker had already won two gold medals in the track cycling program
- Australian teammate Sarah Roy claimed the bronze medal
- Rohan Dennis has pulled out of the men’s road race
It is Baker’s third gold medal in Birmingham, after she also won on the track in the team pursuit and the points race.
Teammate Sarah Roy finished third in the 112-kilometre road race at Warwick, south of Birmingham, while Scotland’s Neah Evans took second.
The Australians had the strongest team in the seven-lap race around Warwick and they policed the peloton throughout.
