2010 UCI Road World Championships - Elite Women Time Trial

Emma Pooley of Great Britain took gold in the Women's time trial beating out Judith Arndt (Germany) and Linda Melanie Villumsen (New Zealand) by 15 seconds. 

Pooley set the best times all along the course and Arndt with the last start time could only lose time on her over the course.

The US women fared well placing 4th and 6th and Amber Neben was sitting in the silver spot after her ride, but it was not to be this year.

Another note to make about the women's race was the ever presence of Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli who took 5th place and will turn 52 in October.  She was actually in the lead after her ride with only eleven riders left out on the course.  I've heard people ask why do the French send her to these competitions, but she is always the best placed French rider.

Look for Arndt in the road race on Saturday.  She was already one of the favorites to take gold and she's showing good form.
