Bit late, but this was an absurd stage last week :d 

 

 

I knew Colombia had mountains, but hot damn. :yikes: 88 km continues uphill road is crazy. I bet the riders with "thrilled" :d

The winner somehow still had a bit of a sprint in his legs, no idea how that's possible :d 

 

And it was divided in 5 climbs, but in reality it's just one long monster. To think you really, really start to feel the altitude at 2000 meters and in this stage that meant you weren't even halfway yet :lol:

Horrible news - :NOR rider Andre Degre killed during the Tour of Austria - details very sketchy as yet.

Meanwhile in the women's Tour de l'Avenir, Marion Bunel of France took the win, but someone else showed once again that she definitely is a very well developing cyclist, as we could already see for her sister at the Olympics: :AFG Fariba Hashimi with a very impressive 8th place in the GC in a super tough race.

I think we might all have missed it, I certainly did because I was just checking up on results now, but we've got some honestly awesome women's cycling history :hyper:

 

Last week there was the 6-stage Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l'Ardèche, not a World Tour race, but definitely an excellent field of riders, nothing wrong with it at all. Stage 5, a not that easy hilly stage, was won by none other than :AFG Fariba Hashimi!

Yes, that is correct, Afghanistan has an actual UCI win (and not in one of the tiny obscure tours, like the Tour of Samarkand or something, but a big international race)! And it's a women's race, to add to that! I'd argue this is one of the most historical results in world sports in 2024.

 

Told you these Hashimi girls are no joke at all :bowdown:

Today was the Saitama Criterium, kind of the 'closure' of the season, although not very serious. The finish was kind of hilarious, with Girmay clearly having been selected as the winner beforehand :d
