Cycling: Racing through downtown Athens and winding his way up to the
historic Acropolis, Italian Paolo Bettini surged past Portugal's Sergio
Paulinho win the men's road race. The race was contested in blistering
heat that kept spectators away from open areas. Bettini did not race in
the Tour de France, instead concentrating on the Olympics. Of course,
the absence of Tour winner Lance Armstrong took much of the luster from
this race. Tyler Hamilton, a teammate of Armstrong's at the Tour, was
the only American to finish the race in 18th place.

Another [censored]' idiot.

Lessee ... Bettini DID race the Tour de France, and George Hincapie and
Bobby Julich both finished the Olympic road race yesterday as well.

Anyone got an e-mail address for this putz?

It is accurate to say that Hamilton was the only American to finish in
18th place. Hincapie was the only American to finish in 24th and Julich was
the only American to finish in 28th. Obviously, the writer is way out of
his league when it comes to cycling and, more obviously, didn't bother to
do the research needed (like look through the results) to figure out what
was up. It'd be a miracle if he spent 5 minutes on it.

AND Tyler does not ride on the same team as Lance... AND no mention of Fred
Rodriguez.. AND the obligatory uninformed Lance comment (why did NBC do that
short bit on the 2004 TdF? It had nothing to do with the race whatsoever...)

It's questionable how much good that would do. The editor wouldn't know any
better than the writer, who apparently works for the "Tribune" Olympic
bureau. The Sun Sentinel is owned by the Tribune Co. of Chicago.

As I mentioned earlier, emailing Sharon Robb, the sportswriter for the Sun
Sentinel who covers sports like cycling, running & triathlons would be your
best bet to make sure the piece is factually correct.

As Jan Ullrich demonstrated, the best Lance cold have done was to show on
the front occassionally. Why race if you can't win? Fred Rodriguez should
have been there. He was the only American who could have ridden that course
with Bettini or Merckx.

That Portuguese kid came out of nowhere and will be offered a big time
contract no doubt.

Very good Ilan but that comment will pass over the heads of most of the
posters on the subject.

Yes, but my original post is a syndicated news item that reached a number of
news sources...
http://news.google.com/news?q=%22cycling%3A+racing+through%22&filter=0

And the original author will continue writing summary reports for the Tribune
Olympic Bureau, so I think I'll just email him, j c h e r w [email hidden]

How about:

"ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Sara Carrigan's tactic was questioned. The result
cannot be.

Carrigan essentially drafted off Judith Arndt for much of the final lap,
then slingshot past the German in the final straightaway to win the gold
medal Sunday in the Olympic women's road cycling race. "

Yeah, really dirty riding by Carrigan.
