Having missed out on the first attack, Johansson initiated the chase. Shelley Olds (TIBCO) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Hitec Products UCK) joined Johansson up the road.
“We went off the front to chase, but Shelley Olds wasn’t riding,” explained McPartland. “It was a huge let down. We had two chasing Van Dijk, and Shelley sitting on the back. In the end, they lost more than we lost because Shelley beat Emma at the finish. She could have been sprinting for the win instead of second place.”
“I told them it was all in,” added Johansson. “That if we didn’t chase hard now, it wasn’t going to happen. Elisa and I gave it a really good try, but it wasn’t enough. We couldn’t do it, and the gap to Ellen grew bigger.”

"Former Team TIBCO rider Rushlee Buchanan is returning to the Team for 2013. The New Zealander, who raced for Team TIBCO in 2008 and 2009, spent much of 2011 and 2012 focusing on the track in order to make the London squad. Her efforts paid off and earned her a trip to the Olympics as part of the team pursuit squad. For next season, she’ll return her focus to the road."

"Team Tibco-To The Top has announced the signatures of Shelley Olds, Claudia Häusler and Chantal Blaak for next season, as it looks to expand its programme into 2013. The American outfit is looking to become one of the top teams in the World, and the acquisition of a World Cup race winner, a Giro d’Italia winner, and one of the most exciting Dutch talents should go a long way to achieve this."

“I’m really emotional right now. I was there. I knew that was the time, I knew Vos was going to go and I was on her wheel and I was there,” she said, choking back tears. “Then I flatted and that was it. My race was over.”
“I tried to stay focused to see if maybe [the break] would come back, but I was pretty sure that was the winning move. So it’s devastating to know that you were there in the Olympic Games, but that’s bike racing.”

One of the things I’m really enjoying about this year’s Giro is that it’s easy as pie to be cheering for all the riders who are winning the stages. Yes, yes, if you know me, you’ll know I’ve got about 500 very favourite riders, but I’m always really happy to see riders do well who’ve come back from a rough couple of years, like Tiffany Cromwell, who won yesterday, with a 107km solo escapade - or who’ve come back from injury, like today’s winner, Shelley Olds.
I’ll tell you more about her, and about the stage, below the jump - but before that, here’s a Tuttobici audio interview with her after the race. And of course, there’ll be video added as we find it, links to photos, blogs, and everything else, in the article and in the comments. And if you’d like to ask questions, or chat about all things women’s cycling, join us down below!

"As a female cyclist, my ultimate goal is to represent my country in the Olympic Games. For me, this has always symbolized the peak athletic experience. As a child, and now as an adult, I am most moved by the athletes who compete in the Olympics. Watching them perform evokes something in me that is unparalleled by any other life experience. I can feel what they feel when I watch them and it makes me smile, shiver with goosebumps, clap when I am all alone, and laugh until I cry. It is because I know the peaks and valleys that they have been through. I know so well, the pain and suffering they go through for that one moment of glory. There is no comparison to this feeling. It is this deep feeling of joy that I seek through sport."
