Velominati Super Prestige: Chrono des Nations Les Femmes 2015

The final, deciding stage of the VSP!

This is it, people, the final event of the 2015 Velominati Super Prestige. Let’s start with pointing out that it is disgraceful how hard it is to find a start list, let alone photos from this event. Women’s Cycling is seriously under-promoted.

But let’s not let that get in the way of the fact that this event is going to be the deciding factor for who gets the Jaegher, the Café Roubaix wheels, or the V-Kit with the top five being separated by a mere 14 points:

2015 VSP G.C.

1. Minnesota Expat (169 points)

2. Steampunk (165 points)

3. Yagerbomb (157 points)

4. dancollins (156 points)

5. Two Ball Billy (155 points)

The top three could easily reshuffle, and with a stellar performance from @dancollins (a previous winner) or @Two Ball Billy, we could see them displacing someone from the podium.

Time to put your thinking caps on and get it done. No pressure.

The founder of Velominati and curator of The Rules, Frank was born in the Dutch colonies of Minnesota. His boundless physical talents are carefully canceled out by his equally boundless enthusiasm for drinking. Coffee, beer, wine, if it’s in a container, he will enjoy it, a lot of it. He currently lives in Seattle. He loves riding in the rain and scheduling visits with the Man with the Hammer just to be reminded of the privilege it is to feel completely depleted. He holds down a technology job the description of which no-one really understands and his interests outside of Cycling and drinking are Cycling and drinking. As devoted aesthete, the only thing more important to him than riding a bike well is looking good doing it. Frank is co-author along with the other Keepers of the Cog of the popular book, The Rules, The Way of the Cycling Disciple and also writes a monthly column for the magazine, Cyclist. He is also currently working on the first follow-up to The Rules, tentatively entitled The Hardmen. Email him directly at rouleur@velominati.com.

@xyxax

fantatic finish, fellows and well-deserved to the top steps. And thanks again to Frank and Gianni for making this happen and even getting the finishing prizes for the top 3. I don’t know if it happens better anywhere else.

It does. But we're not invited. Kidding aside, it's terrific watching this site grow from strength to strength. VLVV!

Congratulations to the winners! Until next season. Now I have to convince my office mate to let me set up rollers where the conference table currently is. I have lots of beer weight to burn off this winter to have a successful spring campaign.

Thank you, Keepers!

Congrats to all the winners, and also to @xyxax who edged me out of the top ten on timing. Chapeau fellas.

Thanks to the keepers for organising and managing such an excellent event, it's absolutely brilliant fun and makes me realise how unpredictable the racing really is.

Looking forward to VSP16 already.

@all

The results have been confirmed; we had to go to the photo and break the tie by calculating which of our two leaders entered their picks earlier on average. The win goes to @Minnesota Expat. Congratulations!

Great season all; @MNE, @Steamy, @Yagermeister: we'll be in touch shortly.

To everyone else, stand by for a great season next year with primes throughout the season next year!

G, for this I am truly sorry. Given that I relinquished first place as completely and eagerly as I had my virginity (almost simultaneously as it turns out) by the end of the TdF, keeping a streak of top tens going somehow became important. I will try to have a life next year.

Yes, from you getting a wheelset to you getting a frameset. Ha! ~~smiley face~~

Ouch, that is a dagger right to the heart, especially after confirming he's getting his SECOND wheelset.

@Yagerbomb

What a finish. Congrats to @steampunk and @Minnesota Expat, very well deserved. @dancollins and @Two Ball Billy kept the race for third close to the very end, you guys had me biting my nails, chapeau! Thanks to the keepers for putting this on, and I can’t wait till next season.

Not bad there yourself. With the timing working out the way it is, you even get to pick between the classic V-Kit and the VLVV kit:

Damn, you noticed...

Thanks to everyone who played this year, it was fun to watch even from two hours behind the peloton. Congrats to Steamy and Minny for the best finish since Bauer and Planckaert. Impressive picking, guys.

Alright, first, sobered up here and it’s time for a big thank you to the Founders for all you do to make the VSP possible. The competition is a great tool for getting people involved, while promoting a community. I’ve rode for 45-years, but not until Velominati.com did I find a group like this of like-minded folks.
