Wis. governor offers support for Chicago Olympics

Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle is in Chicago to support the city's bid for the 2016 Summer Games -- and the plan for his state to host cycling.

A key part of the bid is how compact the games will be. Doyle says he told the International Olympic Committee inspection team that by 2016 he expects a high speed rail system to link Chicago to Milwaukee and Madison, the site of the cycling venue. He says a trip from Chicago to Madison would take about two hours

Doyle says the system is planned and ready to go and he's optimistic the nation's economic stimulus package will include funding for it.

He also says Madison is a great spot to host cycling.
