Going on the last two or three years, I liken Deignan to Mads Pedersen - Unbeatable on their day BUT plagued with inconsistency - They go from chocolates to boiled lollies.

Hey, can someone confirm this? (In other words; can someone figure out how to find the link to the page with the calendar directly from UCI?)
16.04 Paris-Roubaix Femmes 1.WWT
Because, if it's true, I consider that good news. Then they can easily show the race in full.
Come again.
It's all your fault for making me think twice before using last year/season!
If you had used "last year" you could have tried to argue that I should have "known what you meant". Are you just in denial about the fact that there was no P-R in 2020?
No, but I decided to use the year in an attempt to not confuse you, but for some reason I still deducted a year.
Wouldn't surprise me, it was organised by ASO.It's all your fault for making me think twice before using last year/season!
But I stand by it nonetheless. They could easily have broadcasted it in its entirety in 2020 as well, had the race taken place, but still not actually done it.
The teams will need to carefully plan their seasons in the back half of the year - Between the Giro Rosa, TDF Femmes, Vuelta Femmes, Battle of the North, Romandie, TOB, etc teams will be stretched - Teams that have realistic goals could do well.
Unless the rules have been recently amended, UCI rule 2.13.166 says minimum 10 and maximum 20 riders for a Women's WorldTeam in 2022, I believe.What's the maximum number of riders WorldTeams are allowed to have?

Yes, the rule I quoted above stipulated minimum 9 and maximum 16 riders for 2020 and 2021 if I'm not mistaken. I'm guessing many sponsors are facing uncertain financial futures and may not be in a good position to increase team budgets.Most teams run on a roster of between 12 to 15 riders. It could be a stretch for some teams to field competitive teams - Well organized teams can do well in these stage races.
The latest update isn't exactly comforting either.
