VALKENBURG, Netherlands -- Olympic champion Marianne Vos of the Netherlands crowned a golden year with a dominant victory Saturday in the road race at the cycling world championships. Michael Cammalleri Jersey. Vos added her second world title to the Olympic gold she won in a downpour in London, victory in the cyclo-cross World Championship in January and her overall win in the womens Giro dItalia after coming back from breaking her collar bone in May. Vos powered away from a leading group of five riders on the final climb up the Cauberg to cross the line in front of thousands of cheering fans while waving a Dutch flag. "In the last lap I thought, well this is the moment I can be world champion," Vos said. "I only thought about going for an attack on the Cauberg," she added. "Of course it hurts, but it is only 1.5 kilometres to the finish so I just kept on pushing." Montreals Joelle Numainville was 13th, four minutes and 37 seconds behind Vos. Winnipegs Leah Kirchmann was 21st, 4:49 off the lead. Karol-Ann Canuel of Amos, Que., was 30th, also 4:49 behind Vos. Veronique Labonte (5:39) of La Guadeloupe, Que., finished 67th. The victory brought to an end a heart-breaking string of five world championship silver medals for Vos, who won her first world title in 2006 in Salzburg, Austria. "After five years getting silver its a great feeling to get it again," Vos said. Rachel Neylan of Australia was second, and Elisa Longo Borghini of Italy finished third. Neylan was riding in her first world championships and said she was initially under instructions to support top Australian rider Tiffany Cromwell. "I just did my job until it was time to focus on the result for myself," she said. Cromwell eventually finished 31st. The race involved eight circuits of a 16.1-kilometre course around the hilly landscape of the southern Dutch province of Limburg including two short, sharp climbs -- the 900-meter Bemelerberg and the famous Cauberg, a 1,200-metre hill with an average gradient of 5.8 per cent shortly before the finish line. After avoiding an early crash that slowed several riders, Vos never looked in trouble and completed the 129-kilometre race in 3:14:29. Vos twice humbled the field on the Cauberg. She made her first important move at the end of the sixth circuit, sprinting clear from the main pack on the way up the hill to join teammate Anna van der Breggen in the leading group. "It helps when youve done the Cauberg 100,000 times before," she said of racing on a circuit she knows like the back of her hand. She then underscored that she was in a class apart this season by attacking again on the steepest section of the final climb. She left her main challengers standing and gave herself time to savour victory even as she crossed the line -- and to begin enjoying her other victories this season, including the Olympic gold she has yet to really celebrate. "The last weeks I focused only on this," she said. "I didnt think about the Olympic gold or other wins. I just wanted to have this. Now I can start to look back." Ken Dryden Jersey. Fastball. Baker smacked the first pitch after play resumed back up the middle for a two-run single, part of his three-hit, three-RBI afternoon. Will Venable produced four hits, and San Diego knocked Strasburg out after only four innings Tuesday, matching the second-shortest appearance of his 25-start career, in the Padres 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals.

"The whole season isnt lost.SAN FRANCISCO -- Police are investigating a sexual assault allegation involving 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree, authorities said Friday. The alleged assault occurred in a San Francisco hotel room early Sunday, after the 49ers playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers, police said in a written statement. Crabtree has been interviewed with his attorney present and has co-operated with the probe, the statement said. The receiver hasnt been detained or arrested, and he agreed to be available for more questions in the future. The probe is being handled by the departments special victims unit. When the investigation is done, the findings will be forwarded to the district attorneys office, which decides if charges should be filed. Authorities didnt release any further details. 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke said the team is aware of the allegations. "The 49ers take such mmatters very seriously," he said in a statement. Tomas Plekanec Authentic Jersey. "We will have no further comment at this time as the legal process is ongoing." San Francisco is preparing to play the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC championship game on Sunday. The winner goes to the Super Bowl. The 49ers said Crabtree made the trip to Atlanta. The team referred all other questions about the matter to Crabtrees attorney, who was not immediately identified. This season, Crabtree became the first San Francisco wide receiver to log more than 1,000 yards in a season since Terrell Owens in 2003. He had a career-best 1,105 yards receiving, including a single-game high 172 yards on eight receptions in a win over Arizona. In Saturdays NFC division matchup against the Packers, Crabtree caught two touchdown passes and wound up with nine receptions and 119 yards for the Niners (12-4-1). ' ' '
