Usoa Ostolaza has done her thing on Col du Soulor, but the gaps weren't big so the title defence is not a done deal yet.

Fleur Moors has really got her career back om track after coming back from injury, but she couldn't beat Wiebes. Wiebes is now on 99 wins since the start of the 2019 season, so the slip ups in Burgos and Britain have made it possible for Pogačar to get to 100 before her.

And Balsamo wins in Switzerland.

I love how Canyon Sram frame it all as they executed the perfect plan to secure a podium spot 😂 👌

Random question. Does anyone know why Elinor Barker from UNO-X hasn't raced since march this year? Realised she hasn't done any of the normal races I would expect her to do.

I have no idea, but she has raced in several times trials in the UK since March.

Strange they would not allow Gigante to take the KOM points to win this title. After all, she will dropped on the descent. This is the difference between the mens and womens peleton.

Kasia is still taking pulls despite Demi closing her down earlier, but they won't catch Reusser. Smart attack, but Demi also wasted energy beforehand.

Reusser cooking Vollering? I knew already in La Vuelta Feminina that the TDF will be interesting.

Why I ask is that I want all GT's to be 12 days to stop leading riders participating in each GT. Lets share the love around.

Sure, but it obviously also devalues a race if too many strong riders skip it. The Giro has already lost prestige due to the Tour coming back, but it doesn't help that Vollering keeps staying away.

How is the race devalued? I suggest any GT is benefiting with the current length of their races allowing more top riders to double or triple up.. Anyway, lets see if the tweak to the dates for the Giro will make a difference.
