GRANDISSIME RAGAZZE!!!!

Eh sì,2 anni dopo Stoccarda un'altra italiana è diventata campionessa del mondo.L'italiana in questione è Tatiana Guderzo,che ha fatto una magnifica gara e ha vinto con 19" di vantaggio su Marianne Vos.Terza un'altra fantastica ciclista italiana,Noemi Cantele.
Purtroppo per motivi non dipendenti dalla mia volontà (scuola) ho potuto vedere solo gli ultimi 10 km di gara.Tatiana ha attaccato sulla penultima salita e ha guadagnato una manciata di secondi su un gruppetto di atlete formato da Marianne Vos,Kristin Armstrong e Noemi Cantele. La 25enne di Marostica (già bronzo alle Olimpiadi di Pechino) ha dimostrato tutta la sua forza ed è perfino riuscita ad incrementare il suo vantaggio sul terzetto inseguitore negli ultimi km della corsa.
La volata per l'argento è stata vinta da Marianne Vos,mentre Noemi Cantele è arrivata 3°.La varesina è stata davvero bravissima a proteggere la fuga della Guderzo e torna a casa da Mendrisio con 2 medaglie al collo.
L'americana Kristin Armstrong,oro nella cronometro,ha douto accontentarsi del 4° posto.
5° è arrivata la lituana Diana Ziliute,che ha regolato allo sprint Arndt,Willock,Braendli,Verbeke, Cheatley,Johansson,Corset,Pucinskaite,Pooley e Stevens.

Le altre ragazze italiane in corsa oggi erano Fabiana Luperini (30° posto finale per lei),Monica Baccaille (46°),Luisa Tamanini (47°) e Giorgia Bronzini.Complimenti a tutte loro e anche al ct Savoldi: hanno fatto una gara perfetta.

English post here: I've already said that in these days I'm more patriotic than usual,and this post half in Italian and half in English probably demonstrates it.Anyway don't worry,I'll be back to normality on Monday (if Andy doesn't win tomorrow...If he does,I think I'll have big problems with coming back to normality!).As you probably already know,Italian Tatiana Guderzo won the women road race this morning and Noemi Cantele came in 3rd,so I'm a bit euphoric about that.

Marianne Vos came in 2nd,while Kristin Armstrong was eventually 4th.5th was Diane Ziliute.

And to think that Cyclingnews didn't even mention the Italian women team in their report about the Worlds...

Anyway,this afternoon there is also the U-23 road race,while tomorrow it's the Elite Men Road Race day.Of course tomorrow I won't be as patriotic as today,but of course I'll be moderately happy if an Italian rider wins.Talking about the Worlds,here are some random links about Luxembourg,,Denmark and Bellis:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/small-luxembourg-team-laying-low :little article in English about Luxembourg team for the Worlds.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/successful-knee-surgery-for-frank-schleck :in this article it is said that Frank's surgery went well and that he's now using crutches for a few days,since his knee is still slightly swollen.

http://twitter.com/Mattibreschel :As far as I know,Matti Breschel was the last cyclist that surrended to Twitter-mania.

http://www.feltet.dk/index.php?id_parent=1&id=28&id_nyhed=22134 :Chris-Anker Sorensen has stated that he's dreaming of a Worlds podium.Fangirl agrees and thinks that,if Chris-Anker really makes it to the gold medal,Logic should leave her completely free for at least 2 days.

http://www.feltet.dk/index.php?id_parent=1&id=28&id_nyhed=22108 :The other Sorensen,Nicki ("the one who won a stage during this year Tour",to put it like Italian chronists do) won't be racing tomorrow because he has temperature and sore throat.His place in the team will be taken by Frank Hoj.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bellis-undergoes-successful-surgery-remains-in-coma :Jonathan Bellis is still in critical but stable conditions.Fingers crossed for him.
