Georgia Baker

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

Cycling career After taking a break from road racing in 2016 with the High5 Dream Team to focus on her Rio Olympics campaign, Baker signed for Orica-Scott to race in the Women's World Tour team for 2017. In her first European race for the team at the end of May, Baker was among the 90 non-finishers of 121 that started at Gooik–Geraardsbergen–Gooik.

Baker withdrew from the 2017 Women's Tour on the opening stage after experiencing a racing heart and sharp pains in her chest and arm. She was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia, which is not a life-threatening condition, but needed to be treated to continue as an athlete. She had surgery in early August, and resumed training for a mixed road and track season in the run-up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Following the successful surgery, Baker undertook a three-month training block in Australia before racing at the Oceania Track Championships in November 2017.

Baker qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She was a member of the women's pursuit team. The team, consisting of Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker, Annette Edmondson, Alexandra Manly and Maeve Plouffe, finished fifth.

At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Baker won the gold medal in the women's team pursuit event alongside Sophie Edwards, Chloe Moran and Maeve Plouffe, setting a games record time of 4:14.06.
