● Four days after Puck Pieterse's victory over Demi Vollering in La Flèche Wallonne Femmes, the Dutch pair will meet again on Sunday in Liège... where Pieterse also beat her compatriot in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
● The ninth edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes will also see the return of the first conqueror of the Ardent City, Anna van der Breggen, supported at SD Worx-Protime by world champion Lotte Kopecky and the surprise winner of the Amstel Gold Race Ladies, Mischa Bredewold.
● Third on Wednesday in Huy and second in the last two editions of La Doyenne, Elisa Longo Borghini approaches the race with the highest ambitions, while Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, recent winner of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, is another big name to watch.

Notable riders: Pieterse, Vollering, Kopecky, Longo Borghini, Labous, Dygert, Muzic, Lippert, Bredewold, Chabbey, Kerbaol, Persico, Fisher-Black

The final Classic of the season? It seems very wrong but it's kinda true I guess until Lombardia pulls its weight and Emilia gives the women more than a hockey stick profile.

Maybe in terms of coinciding with men's ones it fits, however, but frankly Plouay deserves the status for the women, it's more historic and traditional than most of the "actual" Classics.

Don't forget that Emilia has had two ascents of San Luca in the past two editions, so it is at least not a regulation shaped hockey stick anymore, but it should of course be easy enough for them to spice up the route some more.

Why does coverage start so late? Could have done without the last 30 minutes of the mens race.

When they had the coverage of the finale of the women's race when the men were on course, people complained that they needed to see what was going on in the men's race.

Hell, ASO took until they were forced by regulations to provide any coverage whatsoever of La Flèche Wallonne, in case we missed any of the crucial, race defining action that always occurs 100km from the finish of the men's race... this move to finish the women after the men has drawbacks but I suspect it has had an overall had a positive effect - they can set the women off on course after the men have gone by at such a point as to get their minimum time of broadcast required by the regulations in even if the women absolutely drill it and the men sit by scratching their asses meaning they finish late and the women finish ahead of schedule, and they can try to gain crossover audience not by having the race over before the bulk of the audience for the men's race tune in, but by running a fairly effective "not had enough cycling yet? Stay tuned for the finish of the women's race".

It's similar to what RAI did with the Giro Donne/Rosa when it was doing decently in the pre-WWT days - then, the women started their race earlier, so the highlights program could be cut together to fit directly after the Tour de France coverage and catch crossover cycling audience that might not have sought out the women's coverage in isolation.
