Alex finished fourth in one of the oldest classics on the UCI schedule this morning - Fleche Wallone (the Wallone Arrow). I just talked talked to her on the phone and she was very happy with how the race went. She said there were 35 girls all together at the bottom of the Huy (the final climb of the race). She said it was one of the toughest finishing climbs she has ever done. After the finish it took her an unusually long time to catch her breath. She said she was just bent over the handlebars trying to recover. The hill at the finish is so steep that Michelle had to actually push her after the finish. Now that she has recovered, she was feeling great and also feeling very relieved to have guaranteed herself an Olympic spot.
