Nicole Cooke wins British RR title for the tenth time.
Lizzie Armistead (who is going to be a fantastic rider, I think) second & Emma Pooley third.
Cooke would’ve probably won anyway, but I find it a bit disappointing that the major hill on the course (the Tumble) was cut out of the women’s race. I heard Pooley was pretty disappointed about that as obviously a harder climb would have suited her. But essentially (as happens quite often) the women have raced the juvenile course rather than the proper ‘grown up’ one.
by civetta on Jun 27, 2009 11:38 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Controversy/bloody-mindedness (according to taste)
The commissaire refused to award Lizzie Armistead the silver medal, as she had already been awarded the U23 jersey for her second place behind Cooke. This seems to be an entirely novel interpretation of the rules in that in all the years Cooke won the senior national championship as a U23, the question never arose. It makes you wonder what’ll happen tomorrow if – as is not entirely improbable – a rider eligible for the U23 competition wins the men’s race. On the one hand I hope it’s a different commissaire who’ll make a different ruling; on the other hand, if that happens, it’ll make today’s situation seem like even dafter.

That's grotesque.
And hopefully will be overturned.

All the riders involved hope so too.
Interviews with Cooke, Armitstead (whose name I will learn to spell correctly) & 4th place Catherine Williamson here
Another example: Pete Kennaugh finished second to Rob Hayles in the men’s race last year & was awarded both the silver medal & the U23 jersey.
Crazy.

That has happened in Australia
A few years ago Will Walker won the Australian open RR as an U23, and wasn’t allowed to be called the Australian champion, or wear the jersey.

If I remember it correctly he was.
Only inside Australia the jerey was for who ever was first. Outside Australia the jersey was for Walker

I’m going to Götene tomorrow for the Swedish Championships, and my plan is to use twitter for some live reports. The race is 201 km, starts at 10 cest and my hunch is that they will reach the finish around 15.

Had to come here to find your link. Crazy world!
We have a breakaway group of 8 with 5 minutes on the bunch. Pretty good group:
Tom Stamsnijder (Rabobank)
Maarten Tjallingii (Rabobank)
Roy Curvers (Skil Shimano)
Kenny van Hummel (Skil Shimano)
Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil)
Jos Pronk (Krolstone)
Joost van Leijen (Van Vliet _EBH Elshof)
Jeroen Boelen (WV de Jonge Renner)
All of the pro-teams have one or more men in the group. There is more than 100k to go though.
Theo Bos already dropped out with legs that were too heavy.

The two rabo’s can sit back and wait for opportunities to attack the break. They’d like to get rid of Westra and vHummel I guess.

Boonen said he had no legs, instead he won using his head.
And here I’ve been calling him a stupid coke head. Well, in truth, i never said the guy didn’t know how to ride his bike, congrats to him. And believe it or not, I hope they decide Tues. to let him ride.
Andy Schleck, boy has been quiet and has only put his foot down a few times this year, I think Saxo is going to have a major playa for the top spot.

Guillaume Boivin (not David Boily—I think initial reports got the last names mixed up) won the combined elite/U23 race, but they separate the results.
