That's quite a podium! Ilse Pluimers is the U23 champion after winning juniors previously. @AnnaShackley12 takes 2nd ahead of Linda Zanetti (who has had too good a season to stay on UAE Dev!) After them it's Masetti, Schreiber, Kopecky, Ruegg, Fem #EuroRoad23 #Drenthe2023

Ilse Pluimers of the Netherlands has taken victory in the women's under-23 road race at the European Championships after a stunning late attack.
After Zoe Backstedt had threatened to solo to victory, the peloton were all back together as they entered the final lap of the race. Then as the finish line neared, Anna Schackley and Ilse Pluimers began to ride clear.
At the line, it was Pluimers of the Netherlands who prevailed, narrowly ahead of Great Britain's Shackley with Switzerland's Linda Zanetti rounding out the podium.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
