Georgia Baker (born 21 September 1994) is an Australian professional racing cyclist.[7] She rode in the women's team pursuit at the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.[8]

Cycling career

After taking a break from road racing in 2016 with the High5 Dream Team to focus on her Rio Olympics campaign, Orica-Scott announced signing Baker to race in the Women's World Tour team for 2017.[9]

In her first European race for the Orica-Scott team at the end of May, Baker was among the 90 non-finishers of 121 that started at Gooik–Geraardsbergen–Gooik.[10]

Baker in her second race on the opening stage at The Women's Tour at the start of June after a racing heart and sharp pains were felt in her chest and arm, exercising caution having lost her father to a heart attack in 2015, she withdrew from the race.[11] She was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia, while not life-threatening, needed to be treated to continue as an athlete. She was booked in for surgery in early August, in the hopes to resume training for a mixed road and track season in the run up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[12] Following a successful surgery, Baker undertook a three-month training block in Australia before racing at the Oceania Track Championships in November 2017.[13]
