It seems like just weeks ago that Cav won his rainbow stripes, things were said, umbrage was taken. Luckily we have found more umbrage so we are good to go. This course is not like last year. It’s not exactly a sprinters finish. It’s a 128 km rumble in Valkenberg and the Dutch team is there for Marianne Vos. She has finished second in the World Championships five times and only won it once. For her this is a problem. This race must haunt her. It will take some amount of courage for the stakeholders in this year’s VSP to bet against her. Yet the Italians, British and Germans, among others, have brought some serious firepower to counter the Dutch. Here is a link to a start list.
Though their prize list is only 30% of what the men get, here at Velominati it’s equal points in the VSP. Do your research, pray to your god, and tune in on Saturday.
Here is a little video from 1998. The last time the women raced in Valkenberg.

FFS, I really have no idea beyond Vos. I've wasted a few picks on Pooley, she is out, too wee. Let's see, a Brit, a German, a Russian, and Evelyn Stevens. It's a joke. There is no talk of this, no one (meaning me) knows who these women are, a start list is hard to find. What will make women's racing more compelling?

It is indeed hard to get past Vos, yet five times out of six someone has...
@Ron Yes, we generally have a poor record and manage to get about half the picks even vaguely right - in fact NOT being picked by any of us is as good a sign as being picked. One day races are even worse than grand tours.
I must update the Vuelta actually.
