#Pete# Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 "I've never felt so unfairly treated as a woman either, through my 20 years as a professional cyclist, regarding a fair start for elite women." http://www.cyclingnews.com/blogs/gunn-rita-dahle-flesja-diary/gunn-rita-blog-adventures-at-cape-epic Does seem like only 3 teams have a chance.....
Skubarra Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Probably would not have made a difference but she does make a good point
Tumbleweed Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Agg never thought she was the cry baby type It takes up such a small section of her blog that cry baby is a bit harsh.
Cejay Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 She has a very valid point and I see it as positive criticism,can only serve to better the race,apart from that "1 bit of negativity" the rest is very well written.
SwissVan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 It takes up such a small section of her blog that cry baby is a bit harsh. I am harsh It takes up such a small section of her blog that cry baby is a bit harsh. 20 years worth of harshness?

sias Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Well, she is right - the women's race was not up to scratch... The only race in the women's cat was for second place...
Brian Fantana Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Valid points in my opinion. Even though the leading ladies were extremely strong this year, it is unfair imo that they can start so far ahead of the rest of the professional ladies.

Do the pro's get a guaranteed start in the front, even if they loose time?Just wonderingOr do they get treated like every other team i.e. you loose time you move backwards in the start groups? EDIT: bold section
MTBeer Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Kathrin and I didn't push hard to be number 1 in group B as it was quite cold on Monday morning when the first stage was to start shame it was cold.
DIPSLICK Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 good suggestions, worth looking into but the article is written with a DASH of sour grapes could have, should have ,didnt as many of the threads like this normally end,,,,if you want the advantage of being in front GET THERE, DO WHATS NEEDED or dont moan about the slower riders in front of you yes she is a machine and she will take us all dips runs
Tumbleweed Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Where did the winners start after their penalty?
