'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Brave Belgian solo attackPolspoel - 15 secs ahead
'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Womens elite racing looks a lot less organised vs the boys. That just a funtion of less sponsor money = less professional? The teams have splintered quite a bit.I reckon the teams are trying to regroup. SA rider Ashleigh is a freelancer today.

Was referringbtongeneralmriding. Pack is a lot less ompact vs pro men ie less drafting. Dutch team looks on song to set Marianne Vos up for victory

deanbean Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 The US setting a killer pace. Playing into Ashleys hands?
'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Ashleigh near the front on the longest climb if the course.A good sign. How many laps left?I think it's 16 kms a lap or something.Prob 4 laps left.
Ozzie NL Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Ashleigh is climbing very comfortably. Reckon she should try to get away on lclimbs in last loop to avoid getting crushed by orange army
'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Ashleigh is climbing very comfortably. Reckon she should try to get away on lclimbs in last loop to avoid getting crushed by orange army It is 3 kms to the finish after the last climb I think.Not an easy run-in for a climber type that hopes to surge away.
'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Ashleigh not getting out of the saddle in the steep kicker - looking composed.
Ozzie NL Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 It is 3 kms to the finish after the last climb I think.Not an easy run-in for a climber type that hopes to surge away. Think it is the best plan. Dutch thunder thighs team seem to be faster on descent and flats. Plus have a couple of riders they can burn off for Vos
'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 More riders dropped after that kicker. Attrition.
'Dale Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Brief lull in the bunch after the kicker. Things are winding up again...
