Cognitive dissonance is really hitting me.

Kasia is great and I've cheered for her for a decade now and I would like her to win, but she would be winning because SD Worx screwed Vollering rather than anything else.

Demi is the strongest rider and deserves it considering what she's had to overcome to do it, but I also feel like given the way they've treated her, SD Worx don't deserve the win she'll be giving them.

Pauliena is a rider I've always liked and is the true underdog here, but she's also riding the defensive route and isn't on my CQ team unlike Niewiadoma and Vollering.

It is nice to have a choice between three riders where I actually like all of them, though.
 
Wait, what?
Maybe hyperbole, but Annemiek did set some times on climbs like Zoncolan that would have placed her reasonably in the men's race, not like she would have been contending for GC but like, in the top half of the results.

Of course, the conditions were completely different and the women's stage was completely Unipuerto over a much shorter distance so it wasn't really comparable.
