Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

[awavey]

theyre running out of kms quickly to chase this down

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Realini should sit on. LBL is putting pressure behind and there's nothing in for her towing Vollering to the line.

 

[awavey]

theyve got to timetrial up this tomorrow

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah well, you played with fire Realini and just got burned. Should've never done that much pulling with Vollering.

 

[awavey]

classic Marty, the effort etched on Vollerings face, whilst weve no pictures of Vollerings face

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Vollering would simply have attacked earlier if Realini had refused to pull, but Trek could still have played it better.

 

[awavey]

Flo

 

[awavey]

at least Chabbey kept 3rd, and possibly took QoM, the line looked abit sooner than they called it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Some more fine performances from Zigart, Bunel, Cadzow, Bradbury and De Vries. Not the best of starts for Kaisa and Muzic, but the podium is still within reach if they ride well tomorrow.

 

[yaco]

The ITT will be interesting. Even though its a mountain time trial there is no guarantee that the top 10 in today's stage will be the same tomorrow.

 

[Didinho]

Vollering is riding everything it seems. But she’s living there I think?
Is she doing the Giro?

Yeah, she lives somewhere near Basel, I think it is.
She's not expected to ride the Giro this year either.

 

[awavey]

Chabbey confirmed QoM jersey, 18pts to Realinis 11pts, who obv takes the young riders jersey

 

[awavey]

Kopecky is down to do the Giro, and SDWorx appear to be keeping those two apart now.

 

[jmdirt]

DV!

 

[yaco]

They need to make the GT's 12 days or you will have the dominant riders riding all three GT's.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

8 km left in France. Only Perekitko, Bego, Cavallar and Claes left in front.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's Bego vs. Arkéa now, and last year's junior world champions looks the weakest at the moment.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cavallar keeps on impressing everyone. She's not the first ex-rower to have success in the sport, but it's still a surprise that she's been able to adapt so quickly.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Just like in Eibar, Ostolaza has found her legs towards the top, but a lot can still happen in the final 4.5 km.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ostolaza and Cavallar were arguing for a bit, but the Baque rider has now decided to go solo rather than waiting for her teammate Yurani Blanco to close the gap.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Another lovely Laboral Kutxa win!

 

[JosefK]

Kopecky is down to do the Giro, and SDWorx appear to be keeping those two apart now.

Imagine if they were both Dutch, or both Belgian ... what would happen in the Olympic Road Race? 😆

Same thing that happened when Van Vleueten raced

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Horrible rainy weather and a mountain with a Basque climber winning.
