Prepare for curses if Vos doesn't win

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

she was alaways going to win it anyway

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yes yes yes yes yes

finally

**** yeah

 

[Caruut]

Glad Vos has got it.

 

[spalco]

Vos wins. Well deserved. The Brit did all she could, well done. Same to the Russian.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Well done Vos. Enjoyed that

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

I'm away for a ciggie.

 

[Bala Verde]

Woot woot. She did it!!!

 

[fluffkitten]

Nice by Vos.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

And Vos takes it! Finally she manages first again in a huge championship race!

 

[Parrulo]

Awesome Vos!!!!

 

[JibberJim]

Looks like the russian had settled for Bronze long before the finish and agreed to tow them in - wonder if she actually did a deal not to be dropped earlier even.

Great result!

Very exciting final hour of racing. The women redeem their crap race in Copenhagen last year.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Let's just say... that was a really good race, and exorcises the ghosts of that horrible Copenhagen race. Hopefully quietens some of the cynics.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

She's a great champion

 

[classicomano]

yeah!!!

 

[goggalor]

That was the most deserved win ever.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

How strong is Vos... after all that work I really thought she'd lose in the sprint. Or get reeled back in and lose.

But now no

 

[User Guide]

NO please no not Jill Douglas

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

**** yeh

Vos is such a boss! Love the way she rides

 

[spalco]

Not the most comprehensible interview from Armitstead, but definitely likable.

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

Nice one Betty. A natural looker aswell. All good for Team GB.

Spot on.

Vos was incredibly strong today. Armistead did everything right in the final but sometimes there's nothing you can do. Chapeau Marianne!

 

[Caruut]

GB women teach GB men how to race tactically, too. Nothing to do about coming up against Vos though.

A very deserving Gold and Silver too ,even the lancastrian in me couldnt deny Armisteads effort
