Aussie Saray Roy being pressure washed by a mechanic after the race is a favourite.

I loved the “ ten things to improve the women’s race” (in short, make it longer, make it live on tv an pay them properly)

Yeah crap conditions.
Love this photo.

I watched last night, looked at replays, checked every pic I could. How in hell did VDP keep those shoe covers so white all the way to the line???

On the topic of prize money for Women..... in cycling, where does the proze money come from... I presume not ticket sales? Is it from sponsors? If that is the case, I presume sponsors are spending more money where the exposure is more. Can we as the viewing public show more support for Women's cycling to give the sponsors more exposure so they allocate more money?

Interesting. They weren't that clean earlier. Must be slippery suckers if the mud just slides off
