Sweet!

Cancellara, not surprisingly, won the gold. The Swiss rider actually caught Germany’s Stephan Schumacher, who started thirty seconds ahead, on the road, which must have provided no small measure of revenge after Schumacher twice beat Cancellara in time trials at the Tour.
Gustav Larsson, time trial champion of Sweden, won the silver.
Giro d’Italia winner, and Leipheimer’s professional teammate on the Astana team, Alberto Contador finished 4th.
On the women’s side, American Kristin Armstrong won the gold, beating out Great Britain’s Emma Pooley, and Switzerland’s Karin Thurig.
A great day for American cycling.
