hard not to vote for Vos

even after what she did to my VDSw team this year.

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."

yep, only one winner

I want to vote for Vos

…but instead I’m going to vote for Lucy Garner after what she did in Copenhagen and due to my hope that she’s going to take on the mantle of world-beating Brit elite rider in a few years’ time.

I’ll vote for Vos next year after she wins the Worlds.

I think she's got huge future

but Vos winning the Giro was some achievement, worlds notwithstanding. I’ve got to vote for that.

seriously,

now no one can argue with “everything is Vos territory.”

Dammit

I wish I’d voted for her now!

I thank all that is holy that you are confined to cycling

and not unleashing your powers of persuasion in the political arena…. :)

I'm not just a smartarse. Other parts of me are sometimes clever as well.

Wish I'd voted for Cooke now

Someone should. The poor thing deserves at least one vote.

Do we need to call in the lawyers?

Have chads been left hanging?
The first time I looked at this poll, Vos was way out in front,
then Emma J suddenly picked up huge number of votes,
now Emma P has come from nowhere…
If only the WCRR were this exciting.

The votes come in waves as the teams urged fans to vote

First was cafésters voting, Karl Lima of Hitec then alerted Hitec fans , Garmin retweeted the poll yesterday I think…..

by Jens on Nov 5, 2011 1:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Defeated

But only just! Emma P got 200 votes the last day, didnt see that coming :-)

Hoisted by your own petard

Sorry, but at least you destroyed the competition in the team poll.

by Jens on Nov 7, 2011 3:42 AM EST up reply actions  

Lawyers? Who're you kidding?

We got more than 600 voters in this poll, that’s more than any other end of season poll got. Me, I’m going to demand that my pay be doubled next year.
