Abbott has always been good btw, no surprise. Abbott is known as the best female climber moreover. Sad that not medal for her. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny that you now want to teach me about womens cycling, although you just said a couple of day ago that you dont follow womens cycling and dont know who the favorites are ...

I have read enough previews from people who watch literally every race and heard actual female cyclists analyse the race, and all of them said Abbott is one of the best, if not THE best, female climbers On a course like this, that makes you one of the favourites Edited August 7, 2016 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
