Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

Both VDB and Reusser's return to racing have been encouraging. Cavalli's first day back wasn't a picnic, but at least they had Ciabocco in the chasing group. Lauke's dynamic duo didn't get a fantastic start to their new partnership.
 
The route for the revamped version of MSR has been revealed and it will be starting in Genoa. 156 km await the riders, so there will be plenty of road for other teams to get frustrated with SDW :p

Lara Crestanello proved that she was born to win by taking the victory in Umag.

The third edition of the Vuelta Extremadura begins tomorrow. The route looks pretty good. A 9 km ITT in the morning followed by a 81 km road stage in the afternoon, which will probably finish in a sprint. The next stage has the Alto de Robledo (5.4 km, 5%, but with 2-3 km at over 6.5%) which tops out 15.5 km from the finish. The queen stage on Sunday features El Torno/Cabezabellosa (10 km, 5%) and Puerto de Honduras (16.9 km, 5.2%, but the first 12-13 km are at 6-7%). This is followed by a 20 km descent and a loop around Hervás to the finish.

The full start list has not been announced yet, but it has been confirmed that Chladonová and Wolff will be making their road debuts for Visma in the race, in a line up that also features Bunel.

With Cipressa and Poggio I assume?

Yes. It follows the men's route after the first 20 km or so.

Trek have brought Realini to Extremadura, but she has lost a minute to Bjørndal Ottestad who has knocked it out of the park. Question is if Van Dijk will be able to ride even faster.

She could ride 10 seconds faster.
Bjørndal Ottestad and Aalerud are the two highest placed GC riders, but the race has only just started.
