Good results in China

Good result for Belinda Goss here in China... Final GC in the Tour of Chong Ming, although she was leading so it wasn't exactly what she would've wanted (Katie Brown did well, too, it must be said). It looks like a 23 second break for Meifang on the last stage, coupled with Van Dijk's spint bonus points made the difference:

1 Li Meifang (Chn) Giant Pro Cycling Team
2 Ellen Van Dijk (Ned) Vrienden Van Het Platteland
3 Belinda Goss (Aus) Australian National Team
4 Chrissie Viljoen (RSA) South African National Team

Result wrap-up

A quick wrap-up of what's out there. Renshaw is 2nd at Vendee. Stevenson is 2nd at Roswell. It's Savoldelli first in the prologue at Romandie (Horner 3rd, Lancaster 7th, Evans 16th at 14secs). And nothing much has changed on stage 1.

Tour of California - wrap up

It was pretty good, actually. Levi fought off all challengers, especially Voigt, to win overall. CSC won heaps of stages and lots of Aussies won both stages and intermediates as well. Read the CN coverage here.
