“It's been an incredible few weeks for Emma Pooley, first winning three stages in the Giro Rosa to demonstrate that she's the best climber in the women's peloton, then lining up for La Course - a race she helped to make happen - on the Champs-Elyses. So, it may come as a surprise to hear that she will retire after the Commonwealth Games road race on Sunday.” FirstsMayHappensThreeCoursesGamesWinningRaceWeekStageSurpriseIncrediblesSundayRetiringCommonwealthEmmaClimbersRosaLining UpCommonwealth Games Author:Emma Pooley
“I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope. I want to keep on going out and doing what I love to do. Of course, I'm no Bob Hope, but I mean that feeling that you never are old and have things to offer and can be useful to somebody. I always want to be useful, I have no intentions of retiring unless I should get sick or something should happen to my husband. Other than that I'm going to work until I fall over.” IfsWantShouldMeanFeelingsHappensAgeFallCoursesWorkFiguresHealthOffersHusbandSickIntentionMy HusbandRetiringBobGoing OutGoing To Work Author:Dolly Parton
