Tyler wins gold, Eki wins silver, Bobby wins bronze

By now everyone should know that Tyler Hamilton rode to the gold medal yesterday in the Olympic Time Trial. On the minimal coverage on NBC, Tyler (from Boston - rides for swiss pro team Phonak) dedicated the time trial to Tugboat—his dog who past during the Tour de France. Eki (from Russia - rides for US pro team US Postal) captured the silver and Bobby Julich (from Texas - rides for pro team CSC) stepped onto the podium with the bronze.

Pictures from the event can be found over at VeloNews

In addition, VeloNews has a great article about Bobby's chainrings. They are out-of-round, meaning not truly circular. Wonder when the UCI will put a stop to these.

Congrats to all the Olympic riders, just to be there is an honor and a sign of your ability. Congrats to Tyler, Eki, and Bobby. R.I.P. Tugboat.
