Review
Tina
Pic (Dahlonega, Ga.) gave the United States its third continental
championship and 11th medal at the 2005 Pan American Championships with a
win in Saturday’s 84 kilometre women’s road race.
Pic took the sprint from a group of five riders ahead of silver medallist Yeilien Fernandez (CUB) and bronze
medallist Yumari Gonzalez (CUB). Pic’s teammate, Laura Van Gilder (Pocono Pines,
Pa.
) was fifth.
Christine
Thorburn (
Menlo Park

) placed sixth and Kristin Armstrong (

) finished seventh.
Pic’s win on Saturday, along with Armstrong’s victory in the
individual time trial and Erin Mirabella’s (
La Habra

Calif.
) gold medal in the points race, gives the
United States
three continental champions.
Pic’s win also results in an automatic entry into the
2005 UCI Road
World Championships later this year in
Madrid
.
