In prepping for my interview with Nicole Cooke, I started looking through the list of her achievements and, to be honest, as there are only so many hours in the day, I gave up and went to make dinner instead!

Winning the Olympic title would have been enough to grant her superstar status. But following that up with the first ever double, by taking her first senior women's World Championship road race title in Varese, Italy, a month later, confirmed it. Nicole Cooke is truly a phenomenon.

For a long time, the leading British female road racing cyclist has been Nicole Cooke. Still young and in her mid 20's, Cooke has already achieved a huge amount in the sport but two major targets elude her and that is an Olympic medal and a senior World Championship Gold medal.

With five victories already this season - including both rounds of the World Cup - and having been at the top level of women's racing for a number of years now, it's difficult to believe that the young woman from South Wales is still in her early twenties.

Nicole got a taste of cycling in Melbourne during last year’s Commonwealth Games and came away impressed. She thinks that the UK should follow the lead of countries like Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Australia by building bike paths and encouraging people to use them for short journeys.

Ask the next person you meet if they have heard of Nicole Cooke, and the answer will probably be a scratched head. Mmm, it sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it? But few would put a face to the name. The world's No 1 woman cyclist, to the mass British audience, represents the great unknown.

One of the hot favourites for the road race is the Welsh rider Nicole Cooke. There isn't much this young lady hasn't won having been twice World Road Cup champion, Tour de France and Tour of Italy champion and already having won Silver and Bronze medals in the World Championship Road Race to go with her Golds in the Junior event.

After a couple of seasons marred by injuries, Nicole Cooke has been almost unbeatable in 2006. She's also one of the most vehemently anti-doping riders, refusing to inject anything into her body - even vitamins and sugars - and refusing to room with anyone else who does.
