National Team for Tour Feminin The National women‚s team for the Tour Feminin has been announced, and has a couple of interesting twists. The team consists of: Linda Jackson Alison Sydor Kim Langton Annie Gariepy Anne Samplonius Leigh Hobson Both Clara Hughes and Sue Palmer are missing due to injury (Hughes) and team commitments (Palmer). Also, Alison Sydor has decided to do the Tour, since her World Cup schedule was shot to pieces with the shoulder injury she suffered prior to the Vail World Cup. Alison is now competing in the Tour de ŒToona road stage race, followed by the Mountain Bike Nationals at Hardwood (north of Barrie, Ontario), and then the Tour. This actually makes a lot of sense, since the road racing will add fitness and set her up well for the World Cup final and her World Championship title defense. The Tour starts on August 12th and ends August 24th (13 stages), covering 1,218.3 kilometres. Who Is That Racer? If you are at the Mountain Bike Nationals you may do a double take when you see the Volvo-Cannondale rider go by. It seems that Alison has opted for a makeover. Gone is the ponytail, in is short hair and (are you ready) it is now BLONDE. Shades of Paola Pezzo... Marcel Thysman Memorial Track Meet, Ontario (courtesy Val Davidge) 200 m.
