		In the women's race, Missy Giove (Global) had a wild ride on the loose, dusty 1.5-mile course to beat the Schwinn duo of Elke Brutsaert and Leigh Donovan.
		For Giove, the win was a much-needed confidence boost heading into two World Cup rounds where she will try to beat world champion Anne-Caroline Chausson.

		Giove is probably best known for her marketing savvy: the dead piranha around her neck, the ashes of her dog tucked in her sports bra, the punk hair-do.
		I remember that at the peak of her career, Giove forked over her own cash to sponsor up-and-coming female pros that she felt were being overlooked by the big teams.
		Giove, for her part, has hinted that she may show up at a professional race from time to time in the future and that she will be focusing on freeriding, dirt jumping and other areas of the sport.

		When I caught up with Missy Giove, she was at her coastal home in San Diego that she shares with Cynthia, her girlfriend of two and half years.
		Before too long, though, Giove realized she was no longer "mountain biking to ski, but instead, skiing to mountain bike." So she traded in her skis and poles for shocks and treaded tires.
		Giove came out to a reporter in 1995, although she says she never intentionally dodged questions about her sexuality.

		Missy says she wants to promote the sport in different ways and will be spending most of her time freeriding and dirt jumping in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico.

		We're talking Missy the Missile here, the same manic New Yorker famous for racing downhill with her dead piranha slung around her neck, the ashes of her dead Labrador dabbed on her forehead and a search-and-destroy exuberance so electric she seemed to have jumper cables hooked to her chest.
		Giove intends to approach the world championships, which begin on Sept. 8 in Vail, Colo., in her usual uncompromising style.
		Last season, during a World Cup event in Slovenia, Giove wiped out and had to be, in her words, "peeled off the course like a Fruit Roll-Up." At the bottom of the run she gleefully recounted the gruesome details to the clearly uninterested Chausson.

		Giove's resiliency is almost legendary -- just this year she finished third on a brutal Snoqualmie, Washington, course after dislocating her foot in a trial run.
		She was soon racing head-to-head with the upstart Giove, the most outspoken of mountain biking's next generation ("the punks," as Sonier referred to them with a laugh in 1993).
		Giove, only a year into her second quarter century, marvels at her teammate's stamina as Sonier continues to notch Top Five finishes as she takes aim at the big 4-0.

	Giove satisfied with third place
		It wasn’t what Missy Giove had hoped for in a downhill race before her hometown fans, but third place beats a sharp stick in the ear.
		Giove, 29, survived a tough run in the finals at Durango Mountain Resort to post her second third-place finish of the World Cup season.
		Giove didn’t exactly crash into a tree on her final run, but she hit it with enough impact to stop her cold, a gaffe that she says cost her at least five seconds.

		Popular wins for US riders Missy Giove and Shaun Palmer at World Cup round 4 were the results of a thrilling day in the hot alpine sun when the circuit went to Big Bear Lake, California.
		For Missy Giove, this was a critical moment in her season.
		But the psychological boost Giove gains from this win will enable her, as one of the greatest campaigners in women's mountain biking, to put the kind of pressure on Chausson that has seen the Frenchwoman crack in the past, 1997 for example.

		Missy Giove (Melissa Giove) urodziła się 20 stycznia 1972 roku w Nowym Jorku.
		Missy miała wtedy 18 lat, więc startowała w kategorii juniorów, czego w ostatecznym rozrachunku mogła żałować.
		Jednak bez względu na dalsze osiągnięcia, Missy już dziś owiana jest sławą i legendą, która nie przeminie jeszcze długo po zakończeniu kariery.

		Giove's has also racked up three overall NORBA downhill championships, two World Cup overall tittles, and the 1994 world championship title in her impressive career.
		Giove's great success on the bike has earned her a regular six-figure income and more than a dozen corporate endorsements for such high profile campaigns as Reebok, Tissot and Volvo-Cannondale, which is definitely impressive given her openness about her sexuality.
		Giove has pushed several boundaries and acts as a role model for younger athletes who are choosing to express themselves while still competing in a sport.

		MISSY Giove rates Ocean’s Eleven as one of her favourite recent movies which, given George Clooney’s involvement in that Rat Pack remake, hardly constitutes a surprise.
		Giove, after all, must have spent as much time in casualty as Clooney did in ER, on the evidence of a blood-stained cv which is not for the faint-hearted.
		Praise be then that the loquacious Giove arrives in Scotland this week to compete in the Tissot UCI Mountain Bike World Cup at Fort William.

		Missy Giove wadded hard on one of the tough, high speed, rock drop/jump sections.
		Missy Giove's crash in her race run was probably the most horrendous crash I have ever seen in racing (Elke's crash this year in big bear, and Kovarik's crash in big bear 2000 come a close second).
		Missy unclipped around one of the last steep corners coming into the finish, that corner had a rock drop soon after and she went off the drop unclipped, then went head over heels, smashing her head, back, then head again.

		Because mountain biking is one of the most dangerous sports and each year there are fatalities, Giove has developed some unusual rituals to ward off the fear that can ruin the careers of even the most successful mountain bikers.
