A great first pro win for Isabella Holmgren. Muzic once again couldn't get it done in this race.

And De Jong thought she had won

Durango Colarado, location of first UCI recognised world mountain bike championships.

I keep thinking its a Quentin Tarantino film, or like a Mexican cover 80s band

So we now know we won't be seeing Vollering in Burgos, but I dont' really mind that. I think the time trial would have had to be longer for there to be some suspense, but Demi could of course still win that as well on a good day.

With Wiebes riding, we also know that it will be harder for Kopecky to get an advantage before Picón Blanco. We haven't seen her in the mountains yet this season, so I don't know what to expect from her. It is, on paper at least, a much more open race than what we've seen in the past few weeks.
