Great to see that the new Women’s Elite Road Race Champion adheres to Rule #13. The V is clearly with her.

Kudos to Ms. Blaak and to her teammates. The Cycling news feed reported that Van der Breggen and Van Vlueten controlled the pack to ensure a Dutch World Championship. That has to be tough for the two biggest favorites but is great teamwork.

Chapeau to the Dutch women’s team!

@wiscot

To the divine Ms Vos, forgve me for putting you in 4th. Prove me wrong!’ Rivera rode TOAD in my wee home town of West Bend, WI this summer. That’s reason enough for me to put her #1. VSP PICKS:

That would be 4th as in 5 - Vos? I guess it could be 4th Runner Up?

Lizzie just had an operation to get her appendix removed. That's arguably disadvantageous, but I theorise she just wanted to shed those few appendix grammes! Also I totally agree with @frank that women's Worlds is one of the best races on the calendar. VSP PICKS:

@RobSandy

@JohnB I’ve done some back-if-a-fag packet maths and I reckon I’m on about 180 points and you’re around 10 points behind. So still all to play for. I tried to work out who is 3rd but there are a lot of contenders. Think it might be dancollins.

I commend your attention to the task. Smoking is bad for you though !

So the entire Dutch team could win this. Maybe they will ride away team time trial style with maybe an American on their wheel? Or a Brit? Or someone no one is talking about who can slip away with the win? VSP PICKS:

@RobSandy Spookily enough I got the Vuelta top 3 in order too so still on your wheel. I had hoped for better from Betancur but crash injuries saw him off. That'll be him ballooning in weight again!

By: RobSandy

RobSandy — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 08:37:17 +0000

@JohnB A win is a win! I was about 7 points ahead before the TDF. I think I did ok there, probably scored about the same as you. I missed SS so you'll have come back a bit there, possibly into the lead. I did pretty well on the Vuelta though (top 3 in the right order) so who knows now?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 08:34:20 +0000

@RobSandy Ha! I wish, although the first year there are no prizes, I'm challenging! San Sebastian - Kwiatkowski, Dumoulin and Landa all in the wrong order.

By: RobSandy

RobSandy — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 08:28:46 +0000

@JohnB Are you also wondering if you've managed to creep past me into 1st? How do you think you did on San Sebastian? I Delgado'd!
