I prefer to see this as an improvement in Cille and Kasia's sprinting skills.There was a split during the sprint, which costed Van Vleuten 6 seconds.

Any profiles of the three climbs tomorrow?
A stage with almost 3000m of climbing is definitely an interesting thing this early in the season, great to see!
At first glance I read that punctuation as a full stop rather than indication of an abbreviation.Balsamo got dropped on the cat. 1 climb ...

"What sort of idiom has been translated literally here?, I wondered. I lived in Latin America for a couple of years, but never came across 'dejarle caer a alguien sobre el gato' (Is Samu Spanish?), nor could I guess what it might imply.
But I am now determined to find an application for the phrase and use it liberally until it becomes an established part of the language.
Great news for herself and LS : We won't see Deignan during the 2022 season.

You expected selflessness from Lizzie Deignan?!Spare a thought for all those of us who added her to our fantasy cycling teams last week...

I actually thought about that when I read the news. I feel for you and the others. On the other hand, I do think that the new maternity leave for women's cycling is a good thing and will help the women's side.
I wonder if the next logical step will be for teams to provide some sort of child-care, especially for those riders whose partners are also pros. I could be wrong, but I sure don't think it has been a hindrance for Lizzie Deignan that her husband retired, and became a "house husband", of course his career was nearing its end anyway, but I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that at least part of the reason for his retirement was that they couldn't both be pro cyclist, with all what that entails of travelling.
