We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Unless the goal is to design a bizarre parcours specifically for Wout to win yellow I don't see what throwing long flat TTs in would really achieve.

Fine, add in the cyclocross course. Wout yellow, Pidcock white.

There's a mountain bike park at Alpe d'Huez - the stage could have riders climb the road, switch bikes, and descend black diamond trails back down. https://www.trailforks.com/region/alpe-d-huez-bike-park

Love that theyve managed to drop AVV 2 days in a row but extreme cyclist brain meant shes lost minimal time and will smash them to pieces on La Planche des Belles Filles.

Not just that, but it was a heck of an impressive sprint.
She just accelerated away from them while going up-hill.

And to do it in the Danish championship shirt? Just amazing.

Yeah, she had a great race despite getting sick and not eating. But recovering from that after a huge effort today seems like a tall order.

Yeah, I've mixed feelings about the TdFF, because while this is better than they've had before, it's still a long way away from a full tour. The fact that WWT races have that limit is shameful IMO. Unless something has changed since I last looked, most of the research pointed to women performing as well as, or better than the men over long distances. Any physiological differences tend to act over shorter efforts. It'd be nice to have a full length tour for the women, especially since as a younger sport with greener teams there's much more opportunity for upsets and combativity. I get that money is an issue for the teams but the men's take could be subsidising it.

I talked to a female pro cyclist about this years ago and she said their races are shorter because they can't easily pee while riding like the men

she has had 2 doping bans and openly admits working with Max Testa so she's legit
