29/11/2004 EQUIPE 2005 - Il grande ritorno dell'australiana Rochelle Gilmore, la conferma di Nicole Cooke Moving Back to Italy! I am very sad to be leaving the Danish team - 'Team SATS'. Team Sats held me together this year physically and emotionally with their ongoing financial support and continued confidence. SATS has taken women's professional cycling teams to the next level by supporting a rider 100 percent throughout the entire year whilst I was unable to compete due to injury. It's very unfortunate that Sats has lost one of its major sponsors from this year due to negative and lack of publicity during the season. I had hoped the team would have found a new co-title sponsor in time for setting up for a new season in 2005. Sats is a great organisation to be apart of and I am sure they will continue to have a successful 2005 season with some new strong riders and very motivated staff. I will be moving back to an environment which I am very familiar with, the team I raced for last year now known as G.S. Safi-Pasta Zara Manhattan. It is the longest standing team in women's cycling and is based in Treviso, Italy. I will be racing and living with the amazing rider Nicole Cooke. I am really looking forward to the beautiful training terrain and the challenge of keeping up with Nicole in the hills on her easiest training days! I will be living only 3hrs drive from the AIS base in Reggio Emilia where I will visit throughout the season to touch base with Ais coach Warren MacDonald. Update on my training and racing goals to come shortly... ROCHELLE GILMORE - super sprinter and scratch race silver medallist at the 2002 world track championships - is a woman full of ambition.

She was contacted by a number of different teams interested in signing her for 2005, and was involved in negotiations with American based sponsors T-Mobile. Despite some exciting offers Safi-Pasta Zara will give her the best opportunity to fulfill her goals for the coming year. Nicole will be explaining her position with the team and her plans for the future here on the website once all the final details of the team are in place. bt www.nicolecooke.com Rochelle Gilmore nella stagione 2003 con i colori della Acca Due O-Pasta Zara Rochelle raggiante dopo la conquista della medaglia d'argento nello scratch a Ballerup (Danimarca)
