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

It sounds like Wiebes was quite pleased not to ride in London this year...

Post race interview, Wiebes criticizes UCI regarding riders safety. 👍

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.

I think she might have been a bit out of order in suggesting that the race wasn't organized well enough. The handle bars on the other hand... That's just incredibly awful of the UCI... Beyond words honestly.

Its a sketchy circuit and could cause trouble in the men's race. There is also a chance that if you ride the circuit hard you could split the peleton.

Many of us are pleased not to have visit London this year...

And London is quite pleased to not have her there, so it kinda goes both ways, but everybody is happy.

But those who like writing angry letters to the local papers in Essex about road closures have been thwarted. Spare a thought for them.
