[quote="Toks"]GB's Emma Pooley is TT world Champ again!

I thought this is her first World title?

All the more remarkable considering:
[quote]
Pooley's bid for gold almost came unstuck when International Cycling Union (UCI) officials said her time trial bike did not comply with regulations.

Pooley therefore had to use her training bike and, after making a few last-minute adjustments, got on with the job in hand.

Is it Amazing or an indication of the standard of elite womens riding?

Longo's criticised the standard before, said the French women weren't trying hard enough or commited enough.

The Swede Emilia Fahlin looked like she had, errr, good form. :wink:

Mr and Mrs Stevens must have had a good sense of humour when they named their daughter (6th).
