I don't understand why teams like AG Insurance and Jayco are not riding this race - They both have strange calendars.

Quelle surprise, they've had to remove Pico Villuercas due to risk of snow, so they'll finish on a much easier uphill stretch down in Guadalupe.
Not to be confused with Guadeloupe. Would make for a very long stage otherwise.
t totally make that mix-up...
To keep a good eye on, even.Monica Trinca Colonel who finished 4th overall. Apparently she did ride in her youth before she hung up the bike and became an optician. It looks like she might be one to watch.
Easy win. As expected. Balsamo 2nd. I think Puck 3th and Paternoster maybe 4th, happy for her.
After today hopefully they understand. She was chasing with 3 after the 8 strongest and still ended 4th. Best form for her since some track podiums. Was following her the last 10km’s and she’s so good at positioning on these small roads.Paternoster was a last minute replacement for Jayco - The team is poor at selecting suitable riders for specific races, while they ride an unsuitable calendar for the characteristics and strengths of their team. Anyway, Paternoster should always be riding races in Belgium and Holland with her skillset.
