Grassmarket 2,754 Posted August 25, 2020 #251 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Nice British double in the Women’s GP de Plouay this morning. Lizzie Deignan beats Lizzie Banks after a long dual break. Big &m names in the chasing pack never managed to bury the egos. Race held in pouring rain & driving wind, or what we in Britain call “a day at the beach.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,545 Posted September 2, 2020 #253 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Young Hungarian Attila Valter has taken his first serious win by winning the main stage and GC at the Tour of Hungary today, which had a rather strong field of participants. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-hongrie/2020/stage-5 He's been showing good results for a while, but this is sort of a breakthrough. Cool to see Hungary having someone new after one-trick pony Laszlo Bodrogi.

heywoodu 13,545 Posted September 16, 2020 #260 Share Posted September 16, 2020 About Luxembourg: yesterday riders were already angry at the rather poor organization, with tons of cars being parked right in the heat of the sprint preparation battle, incredibly dangerous. Konovalovas was dropped after his work was done...and finished 12 minutes later eventually, because he had to stop for a red light - apparently the road had already been reopened. Today it was again incredibly unsafe and very early on, riders decided to neutralize it and basically go on strike. The 160km stage ended up being 40km, since the deal was they'd at least race the last 40km, leading to a sprint win by Demare.
