2025 WC: Thread for all the women's races + Mixed Relay

Existence of an underage competition* is not usually** grounds for prohibiting someone competing in the senior event.

* which there is not in team time trial anyway.

**indeed, possibly never: I can't think of an example.

Except the rider already competed in the under 23 ITT. How can you compete in two different classes of races.

By being eligible for both.

There is no U23 mixed category.

There is no U23 mixed category.

I am fully aware there is no under 23 mixed category like there is no mixed junior category.

Nice birthday present for Paul Seixas, a silver medal.

Good win for Australia. Switzerland messed up by not waiting for Reussler, they likely lost gold there.

My understanding is the team is wearing a combination of team kit and Aussie kit to get maximum advantage.

I thought everyone was adamant that 23 world tour riders should compete as seniors.
Anyway in cyclocross mixed relay the selection is one senior, one u23 and one junior, but with riders allowed to move age groups. Works well.

Most important question, what's in the medallists goodie bag, not seen anyone look impressed when taking a quick peep.
