Kick some ass Rach!

bgw prompted this last minute addition.

The cross netwaves are buzzing with who will win this weekend. Sadly much of the chatter and the blog polls (save a rare example) are about the men.

What about everyone else? Katie seems possible to bow out, but we still got a shot I believe. Maybe. Can La La Lloyd (good cymru name there for ya bgw) generate the speed that is needed to stay with the obvious front runners and kill em in the end? Man I hope so. That would be super cool. Sadly, no Christine to root for this year, but we will survive. The first name I will be looking for on the results sheet will be Rachel's.

Kick some ass out there Girls! And Juniors, Luke, Gavin REPRESENT BOYS! The unsung heroes of the U S of A. I hope JP does well, and TJ and JPow.
HUP HUP HUP

...i actually gettin' little chills hopin' & thinkin' about rach's chances...

...went to a neat get together 3 days before she headed to belgium...we all cowbelled up a coupla bucks to help out...

...while her first euro results weren't great, i'm hoping that was just part of the sorting it out process...she's ridden worlds before & thats good cuz she probably won't be intimidated by the massive hype...

...HUP HUP HUP !!! is right, i'm fucking excited...GO RACHEL !!! & jonathon & tim & jeremy & all the norte americanos...YEAH !!!

...(cross thrills me way more than roads or mtb's)

did i ever share my recent interview with rachel lloyd for the Marin IJ? Maybe it's time to put it on my blog. hmmm...
Thanks for the blog mention. I agree with you that USA CYCLING ET AL put too much emphasis on the men when the WOMEN are actually doing better than the men (except for JP)- even WITHOUT the funding and support that seems to be reserved ONLY for men. Such crap.

Wendy and Rachel looked really good out there. Man it looked slick! People sliding all over the place.

What's up with Kupfernagel blocking out the "Deutschland" on her uni on the podium? Hmmm. Can't wait for that story.

...what a shame for katie as defending silver, but that was kind of expected w/ the news at hand...

...rach & wendy gave it their best but a podium just wasn't in todays cards...nonetheless, HUP, HUP, HUP !!! ladies, we're still behind you all the way...
