Saturday, January 09, 2010 Hosking takes HTC-Columbia's first win in 2010 by VeloNation Press at 2:19 PM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling, Press Release, Race Reports and Results   New HTC-Columbia recruit Chloe Hosking has hit the ground running, taking the team's first victory of the new season in the Australian Criterium Championships. Despite being caught up in a mid-race crash, Hosking finished well clear of the pack in a field sprint at the end of a fast and furious thirty-lap criterium in Ballarat, Australia. Hosking's lightning charge for the line earned her both a silver medal in the overall event, as well as an emphatic victory in the Under-23 category. The senior category was taken by lone breakaway Carly Light. Thanks to her win in the U-23 event and the runner's up position overall, the 19-year-old HTC-Columbia rider has now claimed her first ever medals in any Australian national road category. HTC-Columbia can mark the win as it's first of the 2010 racing season.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article Related Articles Ladies’ Tour of Qatar: Chloe Hosking takes opening stage in breakaway sprint Chloe Hosking takes biggest European victory to date in Drentse 8 Cycling Australia gives suspended $200 fine to Hosking over ‘dick’ comment Chloe Hosking apologises for language used in criticising Pat McQuaid Henderson and Hosking grab wins in Jayco Bay Classic Right to Play declares Ride to the Tour a success Hosking psyched after winning overall classification in Rendition Homes Santos Cup
