Nicole Cooke (Raleigh-Lifeforce) continued to dominate women?s racing just a week before the Tour of Flanders World cup race, this time taking the prestigious Trofeo Alfredo Binda in Italy on Sunday with a powerful late attack.
Cooke?s Raleigh-Lifeforce-Creation team mates were in every break and controlled the peloton during the race, forcing the other teams to chase every move.
