Armstrong was a powerhouse in the second portion of the course. Jeannie Longo -
what a great result for her. If she could have saved a little over a second and a
half she'd be on the podium. Kupfernagel sure had an off day. I expected a better
result from her (so did she, of course).

Whoa, very good result for Pooley - I knew she had the mentality to
hammer alone but always thought of her as a climber. She really came
on form at the right time, as we saw in the RR.

From these results, it looks like the Americans rode below their
strength in the road race.

Poor result for Kupfernagel - did she have bad luck?

Hanka too heavy, its a climbers course, as evident by Pooley flying up it.
Armstrong climbs well enough, but normally Pooley wouldn't of been a threat
in the TT. I believe Thorburn has stated on more then one occasion that her
job is the most important thing in her life. I believe if she wasn't working
full time, and fully devoted herself to the TT like Armstrong did, she could
of medaled. I didn't figure any of the Americans to be a factor in the RR,
except Armstrong, but my hunch is, she was saving herself for the TT, since
the TT olympic gold has been her main focus in training. Pooley was a
shocker. I knew about the climb, but the course was short, and Pooley
usually does her damage over the long climbs of the tours. Clearly Pooley
was on form, and the climb suited her very well. She so light and tiny. If
you put Abbott next to Neben, Neben is just a tat shorter. If you put
Luperini next to Neben, Luperini is just a tat shorter then Neben. If you
put Pooley next to Luperini, she could be shorter then Luperini because
Neben comes in around 5' 4", and Pooley is like 5' 1"!
