Vuelta a Burgos Femina Stage 4 Preview

 The queen stage!

Stage 4 profile from procyclingstats.com

The key point will be the climb of the alto de rosavientos, which tops out at 16 km from the finish, and features gradients of upwards of 12%. The climb is short, but it will select all but maybe five riders by the top. Again, I don't see a chance for the breakaway today with the GC so tight.

Contenders

DEMI VOLLERING -- Once again, the best climber is going to win the hardest climbing stage, especially with Wiebes available to do a turn like she did on stage 2. She'll try to go over the top solo and hold it to the line.

ÉVITA MUZIC -- How is she feeling after the crash on stage 3? The second best climber in the bunch, unfortunately I think the crash will cost her the podium on this stage.
 
SHIRIN VAN ANROOIJ -- See above...I think the crash will cost her a chance at the stage

KARLIJN SWINKELS -- Climbing well, maybe she can hold Vollering's wheel, we'll see.

ELISE CHABBEY -- Magic from a late attack? Too close on GC not to be brought back

Prediction

Vollering after going solo over the top of alto de rosavientos solo...Swinkels and Chabbey to round out the podium on the day and overall GC.

2024 Tour de France Femmes Overall Preview

With an extra stage and a new spot on the calendar due to the Paris Olympics, it's time for the Tour de France Femmes.  This year's route features eight stages over seven days, starts in the Netherlands, and finishes atop the Alpe d'Huez (sorry; once again no celebratory final stage). The route is very balanced: two stages for the sprinters, one time trial for the specialists, three hilly stages for the punchuers, and two high mountain stages for the climbers. The change in date off the men's tour is also of interest; I've no doubt the opening stages in the Netherlands will have massive crowds, but how will the French attendance look post-Olympics and the men's tour? If the crowds are large, it bodes very well for the race as it expands in length next year. Stages As usual, all stage profiles are taken from procyclingstats.com Stage 1 profile   Flat! It's a bit outrageous the organizers squeezed a category 4 climb in there, but I guess the sponsors want some...

2024 Men's Tour de France Preview

 Here we go again...time for the annual 21-round bout via bike around France. Previously... Last year we saw an epic two-week battle between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard that looked as though it would go down to the wire until Vingegaard took a huge chunk out of the Slovenian with "the time trial of his life" on the first day of the third week. Then, the unthinkable happened when Pogacar infamously imploded on the climb of the Col de la Loze and bled out about 6 minutes by the time he crossed the line. And, just like that, over the span of two days, two riders who had been separated by seconds over the course of two weeks were now looking at each other across a gulf of almost 8 minutes. The moment when everything went sideways for Tadej Pogacar in the 2023 Tour on the Col de la Loze during stage 17    The Route Here's the route and my key stages: 2024 route from procyclingstats.com   In total, 21 stages and 3491 km of cycling goodness, including 8 days in the h...

Only rainbows after rain?...we'll see about that. Profile from procyclingstats.com Long...I would expect the winner's finishing time to be north of six hours. With over 4000m of climbing, the race will be hugely selective as well, but there are several nations capable of bossing the race. No rain in the forecast, but it will still be cold. Only one of the best Ardennes classics riders or the fittest GC climbers have a shot. While none of the climbs are long or particularly punchy, there are so many they will gradually strain the peloton until ~15 riders are left in the front group going into the final circuit of town. Contenders TADEJ POGACAR -- Looking to become the third man to pull rainbows over yellow over pink, and he has the form to do it following a masterclass in Montreal, which came after mucking up the finale in Quebec. He's a class apart right now, especially on these parcours, and he can go it alone without needing help from someone like van der Poel to get and ...
