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 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.

Race Report: 2021 USATF Club Cross Country Nationals

 Having determined the performance in the open race at the Eastbay Northeast regional "good enough," I tentatively decided to prolong my cross country season for two more weeks in hopes of additional recovery of the Achilles tendon and time to regain some fitness before the USATF club cross country championships in Tallahassee. Upon returning from New York, I signed up unattached for club nationals, essentially hoping not to get last place in the competition. Unfortunately, despite neither increasing mileage nor intensity the following week of training, the Achilles did not recover well following the race at Van Cortlandt Park. The Saturday before nationals, the situation was looking bleak: the Achilles was still not recovered, but I needed a workout to flash some fitness to myself and justify making the trip. Remembering the response I got from the C & O canal surface two weeks prior, I drove to Point of Rocks for a short tempo run on the gravel. While the pace was respe

2023 Men's Tour de France Preview

 It's the most wonderful time of the year... The Tour de France is phenomenon that needs no explanation, but it usually looks something like the following: The group of the malliot jaune climbing L'Alpe d'Huez in 2018 -- how many countries' flags do you see represented?                                             This year's route covers 3,404 kilometers over the standard 21 stages. It starts in the Basque Countries and finishes in Paris...as usual. Here's the map: The 2023 Men's Tour de France route in all its glory My Key Stages  In contrast to most years, the first week is quite difficult, not unexpected given that the race begins the Basque Country. The first two stages are reminiscent of what one might see in Itzulia, especially given the inclusion of the Jaizkibel climb on stage 2. Any rider who comes in undercooked in the first week could easily be 'found out' before the race even enters France, and those of Basque descent and in possessi
