New World Champion!

Philippe Gilbert! What a great finish! A rider worthy of the title (unlike last year's world champion). :)

Ha, ha. I thought the thread would be about Marianne Vos, an amazing champion. See some highlights of that race here:

That was a fun race to watch. Vos is superb. Just this year: cyclocross world champion, olympic gold medalist and now road world champion.
