Elitewave's Alex Wrubleski (Webcor) finished 9th in the elite World Championships on the road just moments ago in Varese, Italy. The top 10 finish was redemption for Alex, who crashed hard at the Olympics in Beijing earlier this summer. I think the performance today is only a return to form for Alex - not a peak performance. In the next four years, she is capable of becoming a World Champion. For 2009, she has gathered together some of the key ingredients to be successful - a good team (Columbia) and good racing calendar that allows her to properly compete against the best riders in the World. Alex has done very well to perform at the World Championships at the end of such a long season in a less than ideal competitive program that often forced her to put the needs of the national team ahead of her own. Alex will now look forward to a little down time before setting a new course for herself in the sport. Alex has shown that she has the potential to be a champion. Congrats. on a solid performance at road Worlds Alex!
Season Highlights for Alex Wrubleski: 2 top 5 finishes at UCI World Cups. National Road Champion. Beijing Olympic Team Member. 9th World Cycling Championships.
