Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

[mrgmyers]

Is De Haan joining the team? That should be fun.

I thought Anna Van der Breggen was married to Sierk Jan de Haan?

Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread​

Is it not time to simplify the name of this thread? Does "The Women's UCI World Tour seem accurate"?

I always find the thread title a bit disconcerting. Racing for money? Sure. Racing for pride or prestige? Absolutely. But Racing for Women seems a bit off.

No. Because it's not specifically for WWT races.

It's not a thread for the WWT only, and RhD doesn't want it to be a general discussion thread for women's cycling either, even though some of us sometimes use it as one.

Regarding Van der Breggen, the replies to my post will tell you more about current private life.

People started discussed transfers in here, even though we clearly have a Great Big thread for that sort of discussions.

People also keep talking about retirements outside of the Adiós thread.

That could be because people can never find the Adiós thread due to the effed up way the search engine function; not yielding a result if you simply write 'Adios'.
And of course people sometimes discuss a rider's retirement in the respective rider's thread.

But discussing transfer here sure made it seem like some people thought the correct thread is a men's only thread.

Jayco brought their TT bikes to Canada for 20km. Would’ve thought they would ride with a normal bike and TT setup.

Huh? They transferred their TT bikes to Canada?

They probably don't sell Jayco painted LIV bikes over there. Although it is a transfer, I'm not sure this information belongs in this thread.

It’s about the race of tomorrow. Don’t know where else it can be posted. Saw some videos on social media they are riding their actual TT bike in training today.

Edit: Oh wait didn’t saw the titel. Just the same OP avatar. If someone can change it to the woman race page.

The four posts above this were initially posted to the Transfers and Rumours thread.

How long have you been waiting to make that joke?

One of the only juniors I’ve been following a while. What a start of her elite racing.

Was a bit far to go watch the race live.

I just came up with that particular joke, but I was just waiting for the opportunity to make some sort of pun.

It seems she won a group/bunch sprint ahead of Squiban, De Jong and Swinkels.

The little winning scream lol. Could be about the bad road ahead aswell.

I can’t watch the Gatineau chrono. Hoping for a livestream on YT to start.

Given that she won her third race for the team, not very long

It's been a year since her contract was announced.

It doesn't look like you'll be able to watch the Chrono de Gatineau unless you have access to FloBikes. Franziska Brauße is currently in the lead.

She hold the lead.

Whoever first claimed sarcasm was the lowest form of wit evidently said that because they didn't believe puns to be wit at all.

Ooh, meow.

Assuming her thread is likely to be fairly prominent for the next 15 years, perhaps we should give some proper consideration to a pun-related title?

That’s some awful coverage in Gatineau. Can’t see anything from the peloton with that low camera angle. First time I want the moto to go closer, ever.
