Yeah, if that was her, then it's a pretty good performance.Decent showing from 18 year old Dane Solbjork Anderson, finishing in the second group in Elsy in her first pro series race.
Pretty sure it was her with the grey helmet, but let us see what firstcycling says Eta. 21st - 36 seconds back.Yeah, if that was her, then it's a pretty good performance.
Wollaston messed up the final corner and got boxed in by Bastianelli afterwards, but she seems to be back on good form. UAE has the numbers though, with both Bastianelli and Gasparrini up there now.
Julia Kopecký gave HPH the Stannard treatment and won Leiedal Koerse with an attack in the final. I think it's the first individual senior road win for a rider born in 2004, but I might be wrong.
Edit: I was wrong, cause Tsepiso Lerata is the national champion of Lesotho.
Your eyes are clearly better than mine!Pretty sure it was her with the grey helmet, but let us see what firstcycling says Eta. 21st - 36 seconds back.
There is a stream with English commentary: https://www.elsy-jacobs.lu/I didn't even realise Elsy Jacobs was already this weekend. Is there no tv coverage?
I don't think it's enforced. Looking at the uci rule book (section 2.14.050 and 2.12.51) i'd interpret that the organiser has to invite the top 12 national federations first then accept applications from other federations, then allow club teams, regional teams and mixed teams. Therefore I think the national teams have priority over the rest with the federations picking who they want from their country.I'm actually a little confused by that.
Two of the riders of the Danish national team are from Team Rytger. However, it appears Rytger is also sending a team - with the above-mentioned Van Sineay.
Is there a mistake, or is the "can't represent national team if trade/club team is at the race" rule not so strict in the junior ranks?
Venturelli takes the win on the first day, with Bego 2nd again. The top six at this year's CX Worlds all finished in the top 12 here with Van Sinaey 3rd, the Holmgren twins, Gery and Ferguson, who finished best of the first years in 5th.Two day race Occitanie is up next for the juniors, starting tomorrow. As the hills get bigger, can Cat Ferguson continue her run of podiums in her first season? Will face very strong competition from Julie Bego who finished 2nd here last year, and only narrowly lost out to Ferguson at Binda.
For fellow CX fans, Venturelli, Van Sinaey and Fleur Moors are also on the startlist.
I wish we could have French cup races in the UK.BTW, the race is part of the French cup, in France. You know, as opposed to the French cup in Sweden...
