Just catching up on last week's cycling news. Julich is kicking some cycling butt so far this year. Go, Bobby!
Julich wins Critérium International
http://www.velonews.com/race/int/articles/7754.0.html"CSC's Bobby Julich continued his great early season form by winning the Criterium International three-stage race as it wrapped up in Charleville-Mezieres, France, Sunday, after dominating the concluding time trial.
Julich, the winner of Paris-Nice less than a month ago - the first leg of the 27-race Pro Tour series - won the 8.3km time trial to overhaul Dutchman Thomas Dekker, the winner of the 98.5km second stage which was held in the morning.
Julich had come third in Sunday's second stage behind Liberty rider Jörg Jaksche and Dekker. It left the American with a three-second deficit to the 20-year-old Dutchman ahead of the time trial.
However the 33-year-old American defied damp conditions on the roads of the French Ardennes, and rode at over 49kph to claim the victory ahead of his CSC teammate Jens Voigt, who came second at 02secs. Another CSC man, Kurt-Asle Arvesen of Norway, was third, 11 seconds off Julich's pace.
