'Dale Posted April 8, 2023 Share For a Canadian racer to win this legendary race in the north of France is one helluva achievement. Far from home. In a relatively new team that is settling down in the World Tour with no obvious big stars. And in a long distance break on a course that was extended by about 20 kms. "It’s a dream come true…. I dream of winning. A lot of times all those dreams have stayed dreams. It’s unreal to make it happen in real life. I have few words.” - Alison Jackson, PR Femmes 2023 winner Pic cred @Twitter (team photo) Edited April 8, 2023 by 'Dale Scary Rider, Red Bird, betaboy and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/189976-the-women%E2%80%99s-worldtour-news-updates-chirps/page/9/#findComment-3917760 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best and most genuine podium presentations I’ve seen as well, awesome!

J Wakefield Posted May 10, 2023 Share “Unspoken Rules” regarding cross winds are: DS’s know or should know they are coming, especially with all the tech in the sport/car. If the leader crashes or flats, then it’s unforeseen circumstances.

I cant recall but when a certain rider went for a poop, did the Peleton wait for him? 😝 I think they attacked but because he was the best TT'ist at the time no problem to win the GC eventually.

Bub Marley Posted May 10, 2023 Share I was listening to the Lanterne Rouge podcast where they discussed the incident in detail. To summarise, SD Works ****** up massively with tactics. Firstly, not calling Reusser back early to pace Vollering back before they actually hit the climb. What actually happened was by the time Reusser joined them they immediately hit the climb and Vollering obviously dropped Reusser. Then Vollering had to wait for Reusser at the top so she could be paced back. They also mentioned that Vollering waited for one of her teammates as well on the side of the road wrt the peebreak instead of carrying on. So basically questionable tactics from SD Works and you cannot blame AVV for this. They also had more than enough time to get back on to the group. The fact that the deficit never really went under a min meant the chase was pretty pathetic.

They were on the final climb, the race was on. His timing was bad. More importantly, he did a #2 faster than the ladies could do a #1 Vetplant 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/189976-the-women%E2%80%99s-worldtour-news-updates-chirps/page/9/#findComment-3921149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted June 24, 2023 Share Quite a journey from quite a character. Some of you may remember the 'Ladies and Bicycles' thread from a few years ago. After seeing a comment about herself, Imogen sent a message to Admin and he correctly froze that thread. It was a watershed moment in the history of Bike Hub. https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/unsung-heroes-imogen-cotter-on-coming-back-from-a-near-death-experience/ Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/189976-the-women%E2%80%99s-worldtour-news-updates-chirps/page/9/#findComment-3926025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
