The closing date for all categories is now Wednesday 10th May 2006.

Cooke dominates Magali Pache TT

Wales' Nicole Cooke won the biggest time trial of her career in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Sunday.

The 23-year-old was fastest over a tough 20km course to take the prestigious Magali Pache TT, beating a high quality field of riders.

It was Cooke's first time trial success since becoming Junior World Time Trial Champion in 2001.

Univega Raleigh Lifeforce team-mate Priska Doppmann finished second, with Bigla rider Zoulfia Zabirova third.

"I am so excited with this result. For the last few years it has been a roller-coaster ride with injuries, crashes and problems with teams failing to pay wages," Cooke told her official website.

"At long last things seem to be settling out. I am with a superbly organised team, I am able to train properly and things are starting to go right."
