Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

Visma down to 4 riders before the race even starts.

Your hatred towards time trials never ceases to amaze me.

Its nothing to do with my liking or not liking ITT's. Its hard to get a balanced parcour in a four stage race to take into account an ITT. Funniest thing is I am the biggest fan of TTT's.

This will be an interesting descent with Gigante and Zigart. Do think Gigante is a top 10 climber.

 

[yaco]

What i have learnt about poor descenders is they are best suited to technical descents which slows down the speed, however, on a flowing and fast descent they are left behind.

 

[yaco]

Gigante has got worse at descending. She is a mile behind Zigart.

As expected Vollering vs Reusser for the stage win.

After all that build up with the 'Tissot sprint'....

 

[RedheadDane]

Reusser wins.

It's not often the remake is better than the original, but it still needs a little more cowbell.

 

[JR1012]

The first of three boring stages done. Only on stage three we might see a real battle who wins the stage.

 

[yaco]

I enjoyed the stage. It was great to see riders spread out like brown cows in the last 60kms.

Your photo-shop skills are... amazingly bad

Demi and the only SD Worx rider she could seemingly trust are somehow even more inseparable as rivals than they were as enemies.

Interesting the ToB women moves to 3rd week of August next year according to the UCI calender (see general news)

All those green EuropCar vehicles around the race today: I was expecting to see Tommy V.

I didn't see any? Are you sure you didn't actually watch a repeat of a race from ten years ago?
