Womens Road World Cup Jersey

[MartinGT]

Annemiek Van Vleuten of Nederland Bloeit is wearing the World Cup Jersey. I went to see the RvV in April and Emma Pooley was wearing it then. Is it a similar situation to the MTB World Cup?

Emma was leading the jersey in the RvV because she won the Trofeo Alredo Binda (the first WC event), then van Vleuten won the Ronde, and took it from her. Van Vleuten and Vos have been trading it since.

It's just like the old ProTour leader's jersey. At the moment Annemiek is wearing it because she's leading it; Emma was wearing it in de Ronde because she was leading it then.

Here's Annemiek being awarded the jersey after her win in Flanders:

Nederland Bloeit are very impressive. They have been absolutely dominant. They shall make the race in Copenhagen interesting as they don't want to bring Ina or Emma with them to the sprint along with the current WC

That uphill sprint is tailor made for Vos, she won't care if any of them are there.

no.
vos wont fear emma and such in the final sprint, her fear will no doubt being isolated and someone getting away before the finale. If her team can keep it together, it should be Vos's to lose.

It will probably be the usual, which means van Vleuten, Gunnewijk or, given it's the Worlds, Blaak, can go on the attack, and everybody will be reluctant to chase her given that they would be just dragging Vos to the line; if they catch them, a fresh Vos will beat them, and if they dither too long, the other Dutchie will win. Annemiek is the most likely and strongest, obviously.

Do as Merckx did then: attack from the start.
