Geelong WC 2010: Women's Road Race Sat 2nd Oct

[Spare Tyre]

10.8 km to go.

Group still together as they begin the first climb for the last time.

The police are applauding the cyclists as they go past.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Few little moves on the climb, but about 15-20 together at the crest.

Cooke (I think) attacks on the fast downhill stretch.

 

[Ferminal]

Brits are all over this.

 

[Roland Rat]

Come on GB

 

[Roland Rat]

Dear God Hugh Porter needs to retire.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Small group 6-8 at top of 2nd climb.

5.8 km to go.

Arndt and Cooke slightly off the front

 

[Ferminal]

This is more like it... not sure if these seven or so will get caught.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Cooke and Arndt - can they hold their lead?

 

[Ferminal]

This will be close but I can't see the six catching them...

Arndt to get away on the final straight?

 

[Spare Tyre]

Cooke and Arndt - can they hold their lead?

Hard to tell. It has stayed pretty constant. Less than 3 km to go

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Down to 9 secs now...

 

[Spare Tyre]

didn't expect that bunch to reform as it has.

Canadians chasing

Only about 1km to go. Still about 10 secs

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Whoooo it's close

 

[Ferminal]

Poor Vos

Arndt and Cooke slowed down...

 

[Roland Rat]

Pfft.

 

[eric_vv]

4th silver medal in a row

 

[Roland Rat]

The winner looks like Russell Downing.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Wow.

Thought Vos had it there for a sec.

Bronzini, Vos 2nd?

Who got third?

 

[amp300]

great last few k's there

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

E. Johansson

 

[Major Taylor]

That was the best finish I have seen in a long while

 

[ak-zaaf]

Vos will prolly be disqualified.

 

[Spare Tyre]

great last few k's there

Yeah, the last couple of laps were interesting. A lot like yesterday's.

Hope the guys tomorrow give us some action a bit earlier.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Vos will prolly be disqualified.

Why?

blah blah

 

[ak-zaaf]

Why?

blah blah

Completely boxed in Johansson.
