Velominati Super Prestige: Chrono des Nations Les Femmes 2015

This is it, people, the final event of the 2015 Velominati Super Prestige. Let’s start with pointing out that it is disgraceful how hard it is to find a start list, let alone photos from this event. Women’s Cycling is seriously under-promoted.

But let’s not let that get in the way of the fact that this event is going to be the deciding factor for who gets the Jaegher, the Café Roubaix wheels, or the V-Kit with the top five being separated by a mere 14 points:

2015 VSP G.C.

1. Minnesota Expat (169 points)
2. Steampunk (165 points)
3. Yagerbomb (157 points)
4. dancollins (156 points)
5. Two Ball Billy (155 points)

The top three could easily reshuffle, and with a stellar performance from @dancollins (a previous winner) or @Two Ball Billy, we could see them displacing someone from the podium.

Time to put your thinking caps on and get it done. No pressure.

  7. Fortified with Tripel Karmeliet from an evening at Monk’s Café in Philly. But maybe that’s more a springtime venture. Am I drinking Belgian off-season? Is there an off-season for Belgian beer? (Placeholders in case the drive home on Saturday interferes with the real work…)

    Showing your hand early. Interesting move. It’s like Pistolero going early on that stage in the Vuelta. Or it’s like Boonen going early in the Worlds. Either way: Panache.

    I’m sure it’s very useful. If you can read French.

  11. @Steampunk

    Problem solved. I’ll just duplicate Steampunk’s picks. Done deal. Game, set, match.

  21. I’m guessing that “someone” being displaced is referring to me. Nonetheless it will be an exciting finish, and congrats to all the eventual winners. It’s been a fun season and great to be able to do something like this. Hopefully these pick hold on, although I’ll probly be making some changes.

    Ha! My strategy was to leave Pooley out and then drop her into first place. I’ve been out-maneuvered! Hoist on my own petard. That sort of thing. Ah, merde! Zut, alors!

    Nice. Now you got me checking pro cycling stats at 12:30am on a Friday night. Either take a pull or get off my wheel!
