Last year we saw Evelyn Stevens out-last Marianne Vos at the top of the Mur de Huy. The take home message is don’t start one’s charge too early. Vos should know this finish, having won it four times already. It’s hard to know who is on form in the professional women field as the races are too far apart to infer much from the last race. This is their whole Ardennes campaign; one race, no holds barred, save nothing. Who is a badass? Is Marianne tuned up? Is she still hungry enough? Are there some more young guns looking to make a name for themselves? Ponder all this carefully. The race is Wednesday.

There was an intriguing article in Velonews about Gran Fondo and cycle-sportifs being "the market" for pro cycling. Rather than trying to market it as a spectator sport, the money for promoters might be in participation.
I gotta say I find the concept pretty attractive. Sure, races are where top cyclists want to prove their worth. But rather than go watch a race, I really rather go for a ride with good cyclists. Why post here? Well...call me a pig, but I'd kinda dig going for a ride with pro women. I'd pay for for that.

@eightzero I like the idea as well. Spending the day before struggling away at a course and then watch the Pro Peloton destroy the same route the next day. It can only help to emphasize how amazing these athletes are.
