WMOC2012 just Days Away

[madmike]

So Brit medal chances at WMOC2012?

To me the Brit 35s look quite strong:

Housewife and Srollins on ladies and Ravinous, Ant and Little Geoff on mens.

Who else do we think could be on podium?

Also interested to see see Frauke Schmitt Gran is running W40 (she finished 3rd behind Yvette at WOC 99 for those with short memories and had a nosiy group of fans at the presentation singing her name).

Go Alice on W50

[madmike]

Go Alice on W50

Yep good spot is Alice's mum going too?

[madmike]

And to answer my own question yes she is and up against Audrey Geere and Pat Grenfell - W80 may be a podium chance then

Local press had a big article on the WMOC today (fame at last!). See http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.goslarsche.de/Home/harz/bad-harzburg_arid,278101.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.goslarsche.de/Home/harz/bad-harzburg_arid,278101.html%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D446%26prmd%3Dimvns&sa=X&ei=gnDsT-urJsLOtAa-yrniBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CCQQ7gEwAA for a hilarious translation.

And those driving over here should be very wary of speed cameras. I've now been caught twice (and the fines are hefty) having never been done in the UK ...

D55 Jill Libby,

Don't think Jill will be there. I gather she's had a nasty bike accident and is recoverling in hospital.
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery Jill.

Where are the results, I cannot see anything on the WMOC site?

[drobin]

That's because the first competition (sprint qualification) is not until today! Cloudy wet and humid at the moment

[drobin]

Sprint results now available. Start lists awaited. An unusual start for some courses, being in a gloomy pedestrian circular subway under the town bypass!
