Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

Van Dijk did her own lead out and almost won Van der Poel style, but Bjørndal Ottestad was able to overtake her before the line.

I've only just realised they've cut the climbs from today's stage in Extremadura. Why can't we have nice things in this race?

Imogen Wolff wins stage 3.

I've only just realised they've cut the climbs from today's stage in Extremadura. Why can't we have nice things in this race?

It certainly wasn't extrema dura anymore with this course. But I'm happy for Wolff, she's a fun rider to watch who races with full determination.

If you like a good (sort of) rhyme, Trofeo Oro in Euro could be your favourite race. If it ends in a sprint, then Linda Zanetti is the favourite on paper after her great start to the season. However, we've seen before that the Fortezza climb is hard enough to split the field. The start list is not officially finalised (Ruth Edwards separated her shoulder yesterday, so I feel quite sure she isn't riding, for instance), but it seems Longo Borghini is not defending last year's victory, so I'm hoping Persico will be allowed to go all in for herself today.

Ricarda Bauernfeind will be riding her first race in 10 months, but it will probably take her a bit longer to return to her best.

Unfortunately, the organisers don't seem to understand that the graphics are supposed to tell us how many Ks there are left.
Not which moto is filming... that's completely irrelevant information.

So is Natalia Frolova the wife of the Sputnik Igor Frolov? Would explain her dominance in Vietnam.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I was wrong about Edwards. She is riding and even attempting to win. Actually she isn't, cause that is Yurani Blanco.

Anyone got any idea how long they've got left?

14 when they reach the top. But now we can't see anything

14 when they reach the top.

Thanks.
Not sure why the organisers think we care about which moto is producing the images...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ok, so we have Puck, Silvia and Włodarczyk in front after the climb.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

3 km to go. And it's actually Swinkels and not Persico. Wishful thinking on my part.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Swinkels wins, but Puck forgot to pay attention.
