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?
