five seconds my arse.

Buuh organisers, that tt yesterday was 2 km. too long for the strongest in the race to win the overall Great effort by CUL today.

Mythical mighty Cille! What was that about Simon Gerrans?

Reduce TT length por favor to make her the GC winner, that is the only way justice can be served.

Very cruel of Movistar to make me root against Liane succeeding in her task for a few hundred metres, since they put her to work preventing Cille from winning, and this is simply unacceptable.

Was this Van Vleuten last stage race?

Was this Van Vleuten last stage race?

No, that'd be Ladies Tour.

Tomorrow we have the start of the women's L'Avenir - Race holds little interest because there are too many WT riders - This should be a race for Conti riders and a few of the top end juniors.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No, that'd be Ladies Tour.

Half of all races are called that though

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Niedermaier, Shackley, Bradbury, Stiasny the ones that jump out from the startlist for the big climbs there. Plus Fem van Empel, obviously.

Your definition of half, is not the same as mine!

Realini's so tiny you couldn't even spot her on the list?

 

[Izzyeviel]

is that a green egg shes been given?

I think it's a vase.

What a joke - I don't understand the selection by some countries - For example, Australia should have brought Coupland and Wilson Heffendon to give exposure to your top end junior riders. You forgot Realini.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Hartmann did finish the stage

 

[Samu Cuenca]

But it looks like the Fenix-Deceuninck rider, who was involved in the crash with Chabbey and others 40 km from the line, might have been Marturano, cause she didn't finish the stage

Indeed, Realini was just that small.

In that case she's the obvious favourite. Or at least my obvious favourite, because more races should be designed to suit her.

As long as she does a half-decent ITT - Still, I'd rather see riders who are involved in conti or club teams or even some top end juniors - I doubt this race will turn the needle as it should.
