Ferguson is the another case of the British syndrome. Boothman was a false favorite in the junior hilly ITT and if you followed her career she was never winning on that course. Ferguson is likewise on this type of course.
Four or five teams have multiple riders so they need to bring back the lone breakaway.
Why are so you harsh on Boothman? She would likely have finished second without that mechanical, and she's even been signed by the organisation you support.
