Third and final stage of the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn's Cup Women's Tour of Thailand. Clearly the Princess is no fan of hills as this was another stage with around 100m of 'climbing'. Ended up in a bunch kick on wide roads won by Thị Thật Nguyễn (Lộc Trời An Giang) who hoovers up these...

2nd Stage of the - deep breath - Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn's Cup Women's Tour of Thailand. Three supremely flat stages (not one single climb) on wide roads in an early candidate for dullest stage designs of the year. A win for Chenhong Jin (XDS China) in a bunch sprint just pipping Yanina...

Great stage for Hitec. Karin Soderqvist was third and Alma Moller Rasmussen went on an epic 60km solo breakaway. Another drag of a climb at the end tomorrow (7.5km at 5.5%) should shake out the Stage One escapees from the GC and settle things, although there is a gnarly little section on the...

Stage 2 of the Tour of Vietnam won by Thị Thật Nguyễn (Lộc Trời An Giang, ex-Asian RR champ, Lotto Soudal ladies and Roland). A bunch sprint on a road so wide that practically everyone in the peloton had a clear run at the line. Uneventful stage apart from the customary .2 races in Asia...

Ayustina Delia Priatna (Indonesian National Team, 5 x Indonesian RR champion) wins the first stage of the Tour of Vietnam from a two-up breakaway. Multiple attacks by various riders and teams until no-one chased down the winning move, the peleton pretty much sat up and came home over 2 minutes...

That looks right. She got four bonus seconds from today so I think she's won by a second over Tamara Dronova-Balabolina (Roland). Shame for the latter, she's been massively over-raced (66 days, 7018km) by Roland to try and fulfil their WTW calendar and deserves some sort of reward for it.

On Remco “He’s like a bullet. He’s super aero, and the material that he uses makes for a lot." Last bit is super interesting if it implies he's throwing a bit of shade on his equipment. He's been with Ineos for years and you'd think they'd have a TT set-up dialled in for him,

Allegedly off to Visma for three years. Doing some mountain domestique work for them already.

Nice signing. Lots of potential there and a nice fit for the programme they ride. She did interviews through a translator at the Tour de France Avec Zwift but her English is actually decent and she's been working hard at it as she knows its the de-facto lingua franca for a lot of teams. Zero...
