Adam Myerson recently blogged about this
as a reaction to his Pez interview. With a comment from Jered, too: http://www.cycle-smart.com/blog/2009/06/27/hey-look-me
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.
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.
More info from Cycling Weekly
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.
CyclingWeekly quoted Cooke as saying that *none* of them wanted to see
Armistead denied.
sure, as I said above
but Pooley & Williamson were the two who were seen to benefit, which must have been awkward
Yeah, but Cooke seemed to be speaking for them too...
…saying everyone had the same sentiment. That’s all I was trying to add.
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 expect all Americans to get out of bed early tomorrow
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.

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I couldn't even find that on the site itself
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.
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
Rabo's are chasing now
So Tjallingii and Stamsnijder can take it easy in the break now I guess.
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
Who do you suppose Rabo is working for? Defending champ Boom?

Also influencing the break
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.
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
And it worked
Maarten Tjallingii (Rabobank), Roy Curvers (Skil Shimano), Jos Pronk (Krolstone), Joost van Leijen (Van Vliet _EBH Elshof)en Jeroen Boelen (WV de Jonge Renner) have 20 seconds on Stamsnijder, Westra and vHummel.
I love teamtactics!

Rui Costa came in 2nd.

Cardoso is our best sprinter, but has the style of Freire
He had Liberty Seguros working for him, covering the attacks of Bruno Pinho and more danger from Tiago Machado.
In the last kms, there was a group of 5 including Cardoso, he was the less tired and won. Congrats,
“Costa said that expected to finish in the favorites group, but was a surprise this 2nd place. I’m Waiting for the decision about TdF!”

And how many laps to go?

Sounds like a fantastic race. I guess Eurosport’ll show some of it, eventually.
So let’s see what the blazer decides on Kennaugh…
Do you have Eurosport?
If so, can you let me know when it’s on so I can go round to a friend’s house to watch?!

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.
So this thread hits 400 now, wow.
