I like to just pick Moo cow and Milkers but I'll throw cookie in too.
Milkers is better sprinter then Cookie. Lung-Skag is a wheel sucker, I hope
she doesn't medal.

2. Cookie

You're probably right but I'll go with my Webcor clubmate, Christine
Thorburn, and also because most of our coach's riders are going well this
summer.

Come on Bruce, to thine own self be true - you don't like Suzanne
cause she's ugly (even for a cyclist).

Which leads me to my second point - why do some cyclists have disdain
for 'wheelsuckers'? If you can't drop them, they deserve to win.
There is always marathon running for those folks who can't handle
strategy.

one of my favorite posts on the subject

but it's not smart ass, so probably not suitable for this group.

She looks like an Ostrich with that long neck sticking out. A friend of mine
still want to know if Skaggy is a genetic experiment gone bad. He only saw
her once on the video but he picked up on it right away. Thing is if
Lung-Skag pulls that crap on Melchers one more time, she will probably get a
backfist right in the kisser. I undestand Melchers is has had it up to here
with Lung-Skag. Neck high. I'd love to catch that on tape. Sets your VCR's
or DVD recorders early on the west coast. 4am on USA channel I think.

Which brings STP to mind. Never mind, I'm not going to ask.

Interesting choice given that Katie is a track rider (3000m pursuit).

I figure what Susanne Ljungskog is being accused of by Bruce is called
"having good tactical sense." That, and having the strength to take
advantage of what it gets her, which seems to be consistently good position
at the end of a race. Strong is good, smart is good, strong and smart is
even better.
