Well done!

Am I right in thinking the first part of the course was uphill which served Emma right (see avs):

Intermediate times at km 10.8

1 Emma Pooley (Great Britain) 20.46.99 (31.178 km/h)
2 Kristin Armstrong (United States) 0.03.58
3 Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli (France) 0.23.73


And there more flat/downhill:

Finish time

1 Kristin Armstrong (United States) 34.51.7 (40.459 km/h)
2 Emma Pooley (Great Britain) 0.24.3
3 Karin Thurig (Switzerland) 0.59.3
4 Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli (France) 1.00.9

So nice for her to have her day as she bust a gut for Nicole on Sunday. Brilliant, well done Miss P. And an awesome result given the amount of downhill where any advantage could be lost by a featherweight.

As for busting a gut, did you see Nicole collapsed by the side of the barriers? There is no doubt she put her heart and soul into the whole thing...

Fantastic ride by Miss Pooley If her, Nicole and hopefully, Rebecca, Shanaze and Vicky P don't get more girlies on 2 wheels such that cycling clubs are awash with female cyclists then nothing wheel

PS I thought Emma Pooley was in her early thirties didn't realise she's only 25
