This should be good. OK, the course is not really worthy of an olympic event with only two laps of Box Hill but it's a small high quality field
Hard to disagree with Vos being favourite - she's an absolute superstar - almost unbeatable for most of the year, every year. She won the Worlds at her first attempt but since then she's had five (!) consecutive silver medals and she was out of the medals in Beijing. Just goes to show how difficult it can be in cycling to win the big one dayers when everyone knows you're the best
Bronzini beat Vos in the last two Worlds by waiting for the sprint. I don't see either changing tactics. Vos will try to smash the field to bits. Italy will play the Bronzini card (which makes Guderzo and Cantele particularly dangerous)
The course favours a sprint but the small teams make it more difficult as we saw yesterday.
I think the value is 50-1 + about Guderzo, Cantele and Worrack

PS After yesterday I should perhaps just add ...
Any Other is in the market. I believe this equals Pauline Ferrand of France and Charlotte Becker of Germany Non Runners - Rasa Leleivyte (done for doping last month), Claudia Hausler (replaced by Becker) Joanna Hotchkiss may also be referred to as Joanna Van de Winkel (her married name) |

Could be a very good race as the women can be very aggressive. Dont be surprised if one of our girls gets a medal.

Why would the female Cav..Vos...attack on the climb?
|
|
By:
Because that's the hardest bit; where quality really shows.
|
|
By:
Why waste energy for no gain?
|
|
By:
Vos is not Cav. She just won the Tour of Italy
|
|
By:
She didn't anticipate such a strong reaction from the bunch.
|
|
By:
Didn't the commentator just call her the female Cav?
|
|
By:
So more of a Sagan then?

Perhaps one for another time but after yesterday's guessing as well surely It's possible to GPS track each rider for commentators?
