Zoe B confirmed at Canyon Sram for another 2 years. View: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXJOJ7BN4iV/

I get the sentiment, especially with what Marianne has been through the last month. But races arent won by sentiment alone. Whether it was the riders decisions or their DS instructions they got their tactics wrong, got the riders positioning wrong, simply didnt do enough to take victory...

Which is fair enough but the break happend just after sector 11 i think, why werent any of them, and yes I know that can apply to most of the field at that point, awake to that race winning move ? How did that group of 4 put 1min into them so quickly, and it never really came back down by...

Ive kept wanting to do that Go Cat joke everytime she wins, but I realise no one else would get it. Go-Cat was/is a well know British brand of cat food

should add fwiw I thought Koch was the stronger rider of the 3 for most of that breakaway & finish, even if it would have been fitting for Vos to win.

which I think in a normal road finish sprint, she would have won, but I mentioned this in the mens race, the Roubaix sprint is very different to what they normally deal with at the end of a race, it does end up becoming alot more about track sprint tactics, than pure sprinting abilities. now...

both rode for DSM

for a track sprint yes, absolutely. the sprinters line is where you want to be

wow Vos bike through was way too soon for that

classic track cycling sprint :D and I believe Franzi did start as a junior track cyclist

oops

they can only bump it another 17ish km. they could apply for an exemption to go more, but the whole reason we have this farce for the coverage today is they claim there arent the sponsors for the womens race. so extending it seems increasingly unlikely, and theyll never get the Arenberg untill...

no which is disappointing really, we saw how much MvdPs group managed to close, I dont think this front trio are ripping the legs off this race, and yet none of them back there can bridge this gap at all
