Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

GP de Plouay Women's World Cup ...... LIVE

Vuelta-live_medium

We don't often get live women's racing but today we should be able to see the finale of the World Cup (unless the evil georestrictors strike but it worked fine last year.)

The race is 114,6 Km (6 laps of the circuit) . Read Monty's preview for the full info. As for the overall WC Marianne Vos is firmly in the driver's seat but Emma Johansson can grab the title with a win if Vos finishes 5:th or worse. Also in with a chance if they win are Van Vleuten, Becker and Verbeke but then Vos needs to finish out of the top 10. (H/t Pigeons for the calculations)

Probable starting time for live video at 15:20 CEST (09:20 AM US EDT, 23:20 AUS EST)

Look for links at , France TV , cyclingfans, and BVLS.

Sweet group

Vos, Arndt, Pooley, Johansson

Anyone catch the gap?

by Jens on Aug 21, 2010 9:31 AM EDT reply actions  

That's a BEAUTIFUL group!

Is that Sharon Laws? Back from her broken collarbone!

by Sarah Connolly on Aug 21, 2010 9:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

yes

they are riding Pooley right off their wheel too although she made it back

by Jens on Aug 21, 2010 9:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

I THINK mystery Cervélo (Laws?) 12" behind the group, 20" from group to peloton

I remember these endless interviews from last year

not the greatest when you don’t get the language.

not much better when you do

typing in english while catching bits of french and dutch / flemish is doing nothing for my sanity.

51 secs

The peloton is stretched out chasing

by Jens on Aug 21, 2010 9:41 AM EDT reply actions  

Now all we need is Vos taking a wrong turn somewhere

ending up behind the peloton. It can happen, right?

by Jens on Aug 21, 2010 9:44 AM EDT reply actions  

It happened to Bridie twice this season

that we know about…..

and remember Annemiek and Liesbet DV getting misirected in l’Aude?

Emma P descending!

Go Emma/s!

1’10" on the peloton – that group is amazing!

Plus the might of Cervélo, HTC and Nederland Bloeit disrupting the chase, I imagine!

by Sarah Connolly on Aug 21, 2010 9:46 AM EDT reply actions  

Becker with Stevie and Boyarskaya!

says commentary
How did that happen?

Plus, are we sure it’s Becker? No German shirt….

Wasn't it

german is not very diff from regular CTT

when they lean over you can't see

the national stripes on those cervélo shirts

I much prefer the Swedish Red Sun approach!

Just struck me

No french-women at the very top of the sport. Are they using the “two-speed peloton”-excuse here too?

by Jens on Aug 21, 2010 10:06 AM EDT reply actions  

I think the standard excuse is

Jeanie Longo is just too good, so no one else bothers!

by Sarah Connolly on Aug 21, 2010 10:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

or rather Jeanie Longo still wins everything

because the infrastructure of women’s cycling in France is so rubbish it’s very difficult for anyone else to get anywhere

They don't have any funding schemes

or even “funding schemes”, soft jobs or the like. Pitel hasn’t been too bad this season and they have a lot of hopes for Pauline Ferrier-Bruneau. But their current champ Melodie Lesueur just lost her job because the company couldn’t work round her racing schedule.

I've just noticed all the stands set up behind the finish line

That’s a bit posh, isn’t it. The chap being interviewed now is talking about hosting a second round of the World Cup at Cholet next year, Cholet being pretty close to here. I wasn’t listening to the first part of the interview, sorry.

surprising, given it's Wales

that they seem to be pro-Pooley in the article

(although I think it’s a fair assessment… it’s be fascinating to see who gets into the Olympic teams – Nicole & Sarah Storey want in on the TP, as well as Romero, Houghenagel and Rowsell (assuming Armitstead is omnium only) – Nicole, Sarah and Rebecca want a shot at the road ITT, while Emma is silver medallist….. that TT comp should be fun!)

Emma gets her revenge

Typical Emma P quote
Pooley becomes the first woman to win in Plouay two years in a row, but she didn’t want to take this race as an indication for the Worlds in Australia in October. "Last year I won here and I was shit at the Worlds," she said with a big laugh.

seems like from that report

and the photos that there were lots of great breakaway attempts before the final 4 had a go

Oh, could this article move to "Women's cycling"?

Just so it’s more findable in the future? Would that be possible/ok?

You could transcribe and repost with the appropriate tags, no?

    Just kidding, but seriously just get a tattoo with the url. =:D
