Lesser Known Road Racing for Women Thread

Canyon SRAM Generation, you mean, Of course when they started doing the Zwift Academy the Roodhoofts didn't yet have an organised women's road team, so I guess it is possible that Fenix will take over one day, especially if CSR's financial situation worsens dramatically after the apparent death of Zondacrypto.

Sorry I was confusing the men and women's Swift Academy winner. Anyway, Dixon will be on a WT team in 2027.

Fly-by-night cryptocurrency company turns out to not have solid financial backing, more at 11.

Anyway, it's going to be a while before (look away now, RHD) I don't confuse her with fellow Canadian Emily Dickson, who competes in another excellent sport which is already seeing one high profile transfer to cycling this season.

It's infuriating how VolkerWessels don't know how to race races like GP Immo Zone today (or Borsele last Saturday).

The best team on paper and instead of attacking and making the race hard, they do nothing.

As long as you don't refer to her by using the name of some random skier.
If you spell her name as 'Dickson', I'll just assume it's typo.

I thought today's time trial in Czechia would lead to a win for Jasmin Liechti, but European Gran Fondo champion and winner of last year's L'Etape du Tour, Stephanie Meder, set the fastest time. The gaps were also smaller than usual, meaning that Liechti is still 11 seconds behind Dixon, who looks like she'll be winning the whole thing. Zemanová completed the course around 50 seconds faster than last year, but still moved down from 2nd to 9th in the GC.

The first race in Luxembourg will be live on YT in under two hours:

We're inside the final 3 km in Garnich and a group of 10 is in the lead, but the gap isn't too big. It should be a win for SDW, maybe even if they do get caught.

Lach takes it ahead of Gerritse and Jansen

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A 1-2 for SDW it was. I assume Lach was supposed to launch Gerritse, but the latter couldn't pass her before the line.

 

[Dani HR]

Eline Jansen 3rd, behind Lach and Gerritse.

And Florien Bolks winning the sprint in the peloton, 13th.

Impressive from both VolkerWessels riders. Of course, it's not surprising from Eline anymore 🙂

Liv Alula stuffed up the final. Appleton who was very strong needed to attack in the last 3kms, while Boothman went to the outside instead of the inside. Anyway the team rode well against WT teams in SD Worx and Visma.

I spoke too soon. Dixon became sick overnight and then crashed and DNFed. Zemanová abandoned, too, while Ungerová won the final stage and Liechti the GC.

Disappointing for Dixon as she was the dominant rider in the pelton. Anyway, she will have more opportunities in the future.
