We love our niche categories here at Velominati. Titles such as Reverence, Evanescent Riders, Defining Moments and Anatomy Of A Photo give us the impetus to bring you some entertainment when we may be somewhat low on inspiration, you might say. And if a sub-category can supply us with one article idea, then why not a whole week’s worth? So it is that we introduce our new series, Six Days Of… (Ok, not quite a week, but in homage to the great indoor races we decided to go with it.)
Every month or so, we will pick a topic, be it a rider, a race, a brand, or just about anything that deserves a half-dozen days in the limelight. Because our sense of timing is impeccable, we’ll kick it off with ‘The Worlds’, a celebration of all that is awesome, joyous, heartbreaking, memorable, forgettable, surprising and predictable about the World Road Race Championships. We hope you enjoy the next six days.

Sweet... btw, Vos is a great rider, but I think she could have been better...
Yeah, 6 World titles, 4 European titles, 12 Dutch titles, 3 World Cup overall titles, an Olympic Gold, road, cross, MTB, track... a bit of an under-achiever, that one!
The mother lode!!! A riding friend/mentor of mine asked me if I wanted (to keep) some race tapes to watch while spinning on the trainer this winter. He just dropped them off.
Here's a bigger, clearer picture.
Thats a sweet set of vids, but alas, who has a vcr anymore?
I do.
Nice retort. She is an amazing athlete
Will we see a six days of Gent in November?

Well being at least part welsh I root for Nicole Cooke, but I still think Vos is a better rider, but Cooke seems/seemed to beat her too often.
@Nathan Edwards
You're a brave man, wanting to root Nicole Cooke!
