Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNot sure if the junior part is correct, but imagine, if a junior wins she will win the junior, u23 and elite titles [emoji471] [emoji471] [emoji471] BOOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted March 11, 2017 Share i've heard that the juniors can ride but if one wins, they wont win. if you know what i mean - i've just heard this, so dont take it as the gospel truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagosloonie Posted March 11, 2017 Share It really is all about the money, isn't it. I'm not sure who, apart from the sponsors,should be insulted by this. Perhaps the elite men are just laughing. Perhaps the women themselves are thinking that this is just a little silly and a step backwards The issue of women's equality in racing started with the prize money; initially not the same as the mens' because the women, largely through a lack of numbers, didn't provide the same entertainment value. Having attained that target, the women themselves are fighting over the purse and the winners are those to whom the short route is best suited. Why not just start the ladies at 06:00, all with the same bike light, and have them race like hell to stay ahead of the elite men. That would earn everybody's respect, not denigration.

andydude Posted March 11, 2017 Share Ooh I think women staying away is going to be closer than people think. I wouldn't bet either way. At least they are trying something. I hope it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it works!I dont think its an issue if the elites catch them (at a spot other than the finish straight). Would be easy to keep them apart. Its the big funride groups that can mess things up.
