Wow, I'm very satisfied with this result, and I'm not even American!!

Both Hamilton and Jullich are both strong cyclists with bad luck and truely
in my mind deserve the recognition that winning these medals will bring.

As for Eki, I just like to see someone who is older than I am performing at
such a high level! Think of all the other cyclists, in the prime of their
youth, whose butt he just kicked!!

Like Ullrich. I think this is the beginning of the end for him. He's no
longer T-Mobile's main grand tour rider, and you would think Vino would
be the other guy if they wanted to enter the Tour with multiple threats.
They are obligated to do all three grand tours so my guess is that Jan
will be exiled to the Giro.

Since Lance is better than all 3 of them, that gives Lance his first
virtual gold olympic medal.

I do think that Jan's season will be over very shortly, however.

On German tv he talked about taking some time off (because generally he
was feeling well but thinking he might have done too much racing
lately), and returning with a vengeance for Zurich and Worlds. Hmm wait
up, Zurich? That's not much time off... (btw, please update
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2004...04/?id=default , slacker).

Jeez. That was the year I started cycling. I think I was inspired by the
Pedro Delgado affair in the Tour de France.

See, slacker. No damn that was 89.
