Welsh cyclist Nicole Cooke is 8th in the Belgian Fleche Wallone
Welsh cyclist Nicole Cooke came in eighth position in the Fleche Wallonne race in Belgium, but although she didn't win she was happy with her performance and regarded it as part of her preparation for the Olympics.
Nicole Cooke, who was part of a GB team, finished 17 seconds behind the winner, Marianne Vos from the Netherlands.
Emma Pooley and Sharon Laws also were contestants there and the Fleche Wallone previewed could well turn out as the women's GB road team for the Olympic Games this year.
Nicole Cooke said: "When people talk of the big teams dominating a race, they can now add GB to that list."
And despite not being able to compete with Marianne Vos, Cooke was pleased with the performance of the team and she added: "We had fantastic team work throughout the race but I still do not have that winning form just yet. Each race is getting better and I'm looking forward to my first win."
