Strade Bianche Donne 2025, March 8, one-day classic (women's)

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Sh!t, the one thing I didn't want to happen, just happened.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Descent Anna attack!

Puck a tougher moment now.

totally pucked?

 

[Tim Cahill]

About to see some spite sitting-on, these two could end up 4th and 5th

 

[Didinho]

If Anna doesn’t work with Demi it could all get together again.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Come on Demi, shave The Moustache.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A pretty smart attack by Van der Breggen to try to avoid getting dropped on the climb.
I still assume she will get dropped before the line.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ohhhhhhh dear

 

[JR1012]

Battle for third will be interesting.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Words exchanged

 

[Peyroteo94]

Anna is clearly the best women rider ever. Still fighting with the best and was retired for 3 seasons

 

[JR1012]

Kasia on her way to the hospital for a check.

Your obsession with deeming someone the best ever is bizarre...

 

[RedheadDane]

"SD Worx is the most succesful team in SB, followed by Boels-Dolmans."

It's the same team!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Don't think VDB has it

 

[Berniece]

Vollering easy

 

[Didinho]

Strong finish from Demi. Well deserved.

Show the chasing group now please.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

The Moustache has been shaved!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Never in doubt...

 

[JR1012]

Expected winner.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Your obsession with deeming someone the best ever is bizarre...

Yup mate. It is even more bizarre when I'm not one of those who considers Pogi the GOAT.
Great race from Anna and Demi.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Puck rather underwhelming.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Great ride by PFP, too. I know this race obviously should suit her no matter what, but I wasn't fully convinced of her level after UAE.

Apparently she's been on altitude since UAE, focusing on her climbing. Obviously it paid off. Still not sure she's a genuine Tour contender, but Niewiadoma won the Tour as well without being the best climber so who knows.

Puck always lacks just that little bit of raw power.

You also have to wonder how much that slide-out cost her in the end...plus, she spent a lot of energy to try to keep that break away.
