Wow, great racing and cheers to the winners and podium points leaders in the series.
The start list for the women lists 118 women, 97 for the overall and 21 opting for just one or two races.
The ‘official statement’ was that about ‘thirty riders’ were sick.
Does the math add up? The race had 53 riders, so 44 unaccounted for.
However, the ‘points list’ only showed 70 riders in the overall, so 27 unaccounted for.
Zwift did say to me “Yes, unfortunately, there were a number of DNS’ yesterday, all the women who were able to start raced.”
I understand some just applying, then deciding they didn’t want to compete.
I saw at least three riders on a Whoosh race.
One was on vacation, one decided on an outdoor race and was on the podium.
Who is on the list for next week?
Listed are: Bjarehed, Brooke, Columbi, De Zee, Edqvist.
Unknown: Gamst, Real, Wilkinson, Lethbridge, Real, Langham, Verhaaren, Etienne.
Hopefuls for Climb: Gardner, Passio,
I do think a few started the Sprint but were dropped and did not choose to finish for the 47 points.
I’m sure I saw Tilly and Etienne raced, but not listed as having finished.
I’m sure an official finish list is pending. (7 riders did not finish, I’m told.)
Any thoughts on the men’s side?
