The captions under the moscon pics are priceless.

This (brown) one was my favourite comment:

Van Aert and his posse entered the velodrome, making their sprint shortly after Gianni Moscon crossed the line for fourth. Yves Lampaert (Deceuninck-QuickStep, in brown) got fifth, followed by Christophe Laporte (Cofidis, in brown) in sixth, Van Aert (in brown) in seventh. Jonas Rutsch, left of frame in brown and pink, finished 11th.

hitting that smooth velodrome after all of that must feel like you're putting down 500w of extra power.

And still, Lizzie will be paid a shameful 5.1% of the winning prize that the man winning tomorrow will be paid.  So much for the notion that Europe is an egalitarian or even sophisticated community...

I very much appreciate how hard these women are going and their level of professional effort.   This piece from cyclingnews highlights a disgraceful injustice.

I don't think the real issue is the prize money disparity. You don't solve that by just matching it.

They probably don't even know what the actual prizemoney is anyway, their contracts will have bonuses that dwarf it. Trek getting some mileage saying they will match it...will they match the bonus and subsequent promo stuff Colbrelli gets??

 

but your outrage is not unwarranted. Cycling funding is just silly. The men don't get paid enough either. 30k EUR to win the largest one day race there is? Ever heard of Joaquin Niemann? He got the same amount for coming T59th at the British Open this year. Morikawa took home a cool $2.070m for winning it.

I wouldn't make this a women vs men thing, Cycling needs to find a better way for the sport to reward what these crazy idiots do.

Last outing for Bora-Hansgrohe ended in a crash for Peter Sagan after someone skidded out in front of him. End of a chapter.

quite amazing to think he's had the

chapters in his career. All very distinct and exciting in their own ways. Can't wonder if this (final) one will add much to the story?
