olympic rr's.

the men's rr sounded tough. sweltering heat, and all that jazz.
sanchez is a reasonable winner. he's been riding well, and it was a course for him.
cancellara is a beast, but that is no surprise.
valverde was a disappointment, but that is no surprise either.

they say this olympic course is the hardest ever. so, with that in mind, how could it get even harder?

well, the very next day however, the womens race lined up expecting the same 100 degree weather and humidity. instead a few miles in they got a downpour. torrential style.

that makes for miserable racing, but the attacks were still flying, and the race report is way more exciting. it seemed like it was really and epic race. i can't wait to see some video.

a truely epic day for them.
one they'll remember.

mostly because of the weather, party because for the flurry of attacks and counters, and possibly because the womens field was more wide open... who knows.

congrats to nicole cooke, she is a bad ass.
