 Kathy Watt
The 40-year-old Watt had won the first stage, an eight-kilometre time-trial in Portarlington, from Natalie Bates and Alexis Rhodes, but a storm of protest was unleashed against her when many riders and team managers took exception to what they believed had been a "totally illegal" bike set-up by having the handlebars too low.
Said her sister Kate, who was the Champion of Champions at the recent Australian track cycling titles and fifth in yesterday's time-trial: "The thing is, rules are rules and they're not made to be broken in the cycling arena.
Her partner, Carey Hall, told officials the bike had not been set up out of the ordinary and was later disappointed with the relegation, saying Watt had been checked by Zhao at the start line to ensure she was using a standard road bike.

The Australian Cycling Federation ended Monday what could have been a very disruptive disagreement between Kathy Watt, who had demanded that she be allowed to ride the 3,000-meter individual pursuit at the Olympics, and Australia's national coach Charlie Walsh, who felt she should not ride.
Watt had issued an ultimatum--that she be allowed to ride her favorite event at the Olympics, or she would go to the press, airing years of complaints about Charlie Walsh and his running of the well-funded Australian Institute of Sport.
In the Australian track championships in Perth last month, Watt rode the pursuit faster than she did in Barcelona for a silver medal, and her time of three minutes, 38 seconds was the second fastest ever at sea level.
