    Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

    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...

    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...
