<p>After winning last year's overall SuperTour sprint title, placing 15th in the season-finale World Cup sprint race in March 2004, winning a SuperTour individual classic sprint seven days ago and setting an unofficial World Record for the 100m freestyle last year in the very same stadium that saw the finish of today's relay, many would have picked Newell as the favorite to win in the final dash for the line.
