Pure sprinters' races have a habit of dying (or being very obscure), though...

Helps to have variety in winners to make it worth watching...sigh

Yes, I'm sure what will really set the calendar over the top is a S**********s clone.

Lorena Wiebes being the one to call out the UCI on rider safety is kinda comical given her propensity for riding like a bull in a china shop. I mean, she isn't wrong, she just isn't exactly standing clear of the glass house while throwing those stones.
