I believe Vollering will also start in the time trial.

 

i’ve often wondered if the Dutch successes in women’s cycling are because of or in spite of all these histrionics. 

The histrionics are a function of multiple world class riders with multiple world class egos.

Which seems fair enough...I mean, Shapira at least finishes most of her races, whereas Gafinovitz has 7 (!) DNF's this year alone..

Wiebes has been named as the captain of the team, so the rest should ride for her. Should be a matter of Van Dijk chasing down whenever needed and Vos and Vollering jumping after whatever might be dangerous and then - and this might be the hard one for Vollering - not take turns pulling on the front. If they manage to get Wiebes to the finish in the lead group, however big it may be, it should be a done deal*.

 

*as far as done deals exist in sports

True, what happened is shapira get pregnant and just get back a few months ago and the federation didint take the option for this happening so they didint account for it in the selection

That's too bad for everyone involved (except for Team Gafinovitz of course), they missed the opprtunity for an athlete going on what's basically legal doping (post-pregnancy) :d
