Re: Re:
Ah, ok. I hadn’t looked at the profile and assumed, given that the biggest group in the top 30 plus riders at the finish was six guys, that there was a harder climb on the circuit. It’s not as shocking that Viviani could handle a couple of shallow kms and a 300 meter wall. How many times did they do it?

Re:
Maybe she changed to an irish license and PCS doesn't have her updated.
Or maybe she just felt like entering.
Anyone can enter any national championship and even win it. It's the first national across the line that gets the national champion jersey. The US championships were attended by several major foreign teams for years on end, for example.

She's probably from Northern Ireland. They can switch between British and Irish fairly easily. Michael Hutchinson, for example, was a three times national TT champion for both GB and Ireland.RedheadDane said:

Re: Re:

Hmm... I seem to recall something about Girdlestone being asked to "please don't" enter the NZ RR earlier this year…

It wasn’t quite that, there was a 1-day classic for pros which was held in the US, and the highest placed American was awarded the national champs jersey.GuyIncognito said:

Re: Re:
I don't know what happened before but at the beginning of the second last lap there still was the "gruoppo compatto" behind the two men morning break then Bahrain stopped pulling and was free for all until a lot of riders simply give up (for this reason the peloton ended up at almost 12 minutes), it wasn't a selection forced by the circuit but by the total lack of control.
For me Viviani was more impressive two weeks ago in the Dward door het Hageland than yesterday, anyway since he stopped riding on the track he has improved sharply on short climbs and cobbles.

Re:
Error on PCS? She is listed as Irish in the Tour Series and Tour of Yorkshire rider listings, but apparentlywas in the (non qualifying) Irish Olympic team pursuit squad.
On the other hand, English (not NI) accent, and was funded by Sport England: I'd guess that, like myself (or Dan Martin), she is English born and raised to an Irish family, but with far stronger sense of being Irish than British.
Registration with a national cycling federation is much more simplistic than national identity.

Re: Re:
In January he was in scintillating form at the Tropicale, then he suffered from tendinitis during Algarve and was forced to stay some week off the bike. Probably he's building his form for the Volta now.
The one that he's really declining is grandpa Rebellin, nowadays he's able to do well only in Asian and African .2 races, last month he was blown off on his beloved Mur at the Tour of Belgium.
Nah, he's still young.DNP-Old said:

Indeed, but he was very confident in his sprint though.
What I liked the most is the very prominent young generation.
4/5 of the top 5 is under 26.
This is promising for the Tour de France.

Van der Poel, what an absolute legend. If he ever decides to come over to the WorldTour he will crush them all. Best cyclist of an entire generation.
