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.

Because, really, I do not know, at all. And even if I knew their current form, they're women. Maybe they're pms'ing, bloated, ovulating. Perhaps they're too lean to menstruate. On the other hand, maybe they're all on birth control. My research 'there' suggests hormonal birth control has a small, deleterious affect on oxygen utilization, so I'd guess they aren't.
Yeah. No idea.
Go Vos!
