No wayI don't think that's significantly lower at all. I remember Van Vleuten has some climbing times comparable to like top 10 or top 20 mens times.
Its like trying to decide which one of your kids gets your kidney to save their life. I much prefer it when my favourite riders suck.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.
No way
No way
Peak Annemiek would get absolutely smoked. So would Demi. Lets not try to be cute about it or pretend otherwise.![]()
Annemiek Van Vleuten was so fast up the Izoard that only two Tour de France riders could beat her on Strava
Only Warren Barguil and Romain Bardet went faster on Stravawww.cyclingweekly.com
Starting to believePauliena will win this.
Yeah mate, you're right. Back to the actual race. Cheers@Peyroteo94 is always deleting these threads with dumb comments a la "looking at these pictures I conclude..."
Everyone on the womens WT peleton can do Angliru, it's just about what gears you're riding. Times will be 10-20% slower, we all know this, thanks and let's move on towards the actual race.
You can watch it online. Connection to commentators just dropped.I'm so f*cking annoyed these last 4 kms are all we get on Eurosport in germany because they needed to show a sprint stage

Brand, Muzic, Lorena Wiebes and Danny Stam.Canyon can thank you to Brand. Without her they wouldn't closed the gap on the flat part.
If Demi had it today she would have been long gone; this is going right to the line.Demi is not looking as strong..
