GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 ....strange, because I personally usually find the woman's race much more competitive and hense entertaining than the mens! I guess one would need to feel like losing money to ignore Lizzy Armitstead's chances, certainly she is going to be one of, if not the favourite, but I think Kristen Armstrong is also going to be a tough competitor and of course one forget's Marianne Vos at their peril, its a really strong field, I think I may have to break out the nuts and beers and watch it in its entirety.
Gen Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Judging by how the men's race turned out.. Anna van der Breggen will really fancy a shot at this.. so will Vos..and so will Prevot... will be interesting.. you can throw Neff in the hat too... if an outsider can pull it off Neff has a good chance. As for Lizzy..well she may find herself without friends today...so we'll have to see how that pans out.
HappyMartin Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Will definately be watching this. Ladies racing is great.
Gen Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Will definately be watching this. Ladies racing is great.Yip the women ride very aggressively.
shaper Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 We racing...not much happening in the early stages
Gen Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 We racing...not much happening in the early stagesI think they are still in the neutral zone[emoji85]
Gen Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 In the meantime I am yellow-orange and orange-yellow checking
Ferro Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Are they also riding the cobble section? Was carnage yesterday.
kosmonooit Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 I think they would have the advantage of the spills & thrills of the men's race yesterday, so it might be tad a more conservative. Also smaller teams, less players and sacrificial lambs to go out upfront earlier.
Gen Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Are they also riding the cobble section? Was carnage yesterday.Yip..seems so
shaper Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Are they also riding the cobble section? Was carnage yesterday.Cobbles on the way out, one loop of the forrest, the hills and the dodgy descent, then back accross the cobbles to the finish
'Dale Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Ashleigh sitting 3rd wheel Whenever I'd be in a bunch with her, she is superb at positioning herself What a PRO
Gen Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Armitstead has a bike issues the moment her team mate upped the tempo...motor pacing like mad to get back
