Oceania champion Katelyn Nicholson (Butterfields ZipTrak) took a solo victory in a windy edition of the Lochard Energy Warrnambool Women's Classic on Sunday after riding off the front alone for the final forty kilometres of the race.
It was a fast tail and cross-wind driven edition of the 156-kilometre race from Colac to Warrnambool that Nicholson took just 3 hours, 51 minutes and 37 seconds to complete, delivering an average speed of 40.33km and slicing more than ten minutes off last year's winning time.
