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.

Slim pickings on the start list indeed but here goes. The official event site has a little bit more info. Emma Pooley seems to be making an appearance from Triathlon/ Duathlon for this event.

Fortified with Tripel Karmeliet from an evening at Monk's Café in Philly. But maybe that's more a springtime venture. Am I drinking Belgian off-season? Is there an off-season for Belgian beer? (Placeholders in case the drive home on Saturday interferes with the real work...)

Showing your hand early. Interesting move. It's like Pistolero going early on that stage in the Vuelta. Or it's like Boonen going early in the Worlds. Either way: Panache.

I'm sure it's very useful. If you can read French.
