job involves a lot of decision making, explaining, expressing and influencing.
I enjoy managing and being responsible for the outcomes. Training everyday
compliments my management job, I can definitely get more done in half a day

quickly demonstrating that the team is stable, safe & successful…. a good
option for Australian athletes to consider. Our current title sponsors; Wiggle

companies Public Relations divisions, Wiggle Honda and our athlete’s have
gained significant exposure in Australia. Our team has a very strong connection

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
quizzed the ladies about how can we improve the profile of women’s road racing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lauren
Kitchen (Wiggle Honda) replied<br /><i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“</i><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">I think
that more women's races along side the men's will increase the coverage of our
sport which will bring more viewers and sponsors which will help it grow. It is
a process and bit by bit it is changing :-)”</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rochelle
Gilmore (Wiggle Honda) makes the comment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />“<i>Obviously TV coverage will increase the
level of support for women’s cycling. There are many ways we could achieve this
and step by step….. we’re getting there. More and more women’s events are being
televised nationally around the globe.” </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
think what is very exciting is that Rochelle always the strategic tactician
states<br /><i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“I‘m hoping to
produce a documentary on Women’s cycling next year, hopefully someone like
EuroSport, BBC, Sky or another producer will pick it up and we will gain some
more momentum”</i><br />I
think Rochelle is on a winner there. How many of us really enjoyed Anna Meares
documentary on ABC “Australian story”?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loren
Rowney (Specialized-Lululemon) further adds some good commentary<i><br /></i><i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“<span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I really think the Aussies
are making their mark in Europe. You just have to look at GreenEDGE, a
predominantly Aussie squad, and they have had immense success. Not to mention
Rochelle Gilmore running one of the most professional female teams, with Wiggle
Honda. You have the likes of Rachel Neylan winning a silver at the world
champs, Chloe Hosking getting podiums in almost every race she enters. The
depth in the<span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://nationalroadseries.subaru.com.au/"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">National Road Series</span></b></a></span> field back home in Australia you will see
it is just getting better and better
every year, so we have the talent, it's just sometimes the support is lacking”</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Carlee Taylor adds to that and
mentions</span><i><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span><br />

importance of sponsors, product sales and how there is a great deal of growth
to occur in this market</span></span><br />

room for growth. Bicycle companies for example <a href="http://www.specialized.com/au/en-au/bikes/road#womens"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">specialized</span></b></a>, want women on bikes
and are making the push. So obviously they want us in the media, and want race
coverage for us. It comes down to sponsors and supporters. The more fans and
sponsors, the more money in the sport. So really, people have to demand to
watch coverage of the Giro Rosa for example”</span></span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“</span></i><i><span style="color: #222222;">As I said
earlier I think having more races in conjunction with the men had a lot of
potential to improve the profile of women's cycling. It makes media coverage
easier as the media are all ready there for the men's race. The road closures
have already been approved and the spectators are there”<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Good food for thought
for race organises. The Santos Women’s Cup run on the same track just before the
Tour Down Under’s Classic critierium and utilises the same infrastructure.</span><br /><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span><br />
