I mean it is kinda funny to see the likes of Mavi García and Nika Nosková trying to sprint in the background against the likes of Balsamo and Kopecky admittedly, but with Balsamo winning 2 of the last 3, yes I know the home audience will be happy enough but to maintain its role within world cycling the race might need something like Cuvignone or San Michele before the local circuits to try to thin things out more.
It's more about the role it has historically had within women's cycling. It's like seeing Erik Zabel win 2 editions of Lombardia in 3 years.Maybe in the minority here... but I think the race is kind of perfect the way it is.
Especially as it comes after SB.
First podium for Puck? She sprinted better than usual, was it a hard race? Only saw the last km.
