"It’s a really important race": Lizzie Deignan will return cycling in May warns about the future of the Women's Tour race
CyclingThursday, 16 March 2023 at 23:00
Lizzie Deignan one of the most prominent riders in British Women's Cycling is set to return to race in May. The Trek-Segafredo rider wants to be at her best in the Women's Tour. But the race is having some financial problems, and it is unknown if the race will take lace this season.
“The way the race is run is extremely professional, and it’s probably been the most professional race we’ve had on the calendar, It will be a huge loss in terms of the opportunity for British teams to have a stage like that to race on, but also internationally it’s a really important race because June doesn’t have many stage races. It’s brilliant preparation ahead of the national championships and the Tour de France”, Deignan said to The Guardian.

There are hopes that the race will take place, but still, no guarantees as it is yet unknown if the race organizers will find a sponsor strong enough to cover the expenses.
“I would say it’s probably more likely than less likely [the race goes ahead] but it’s a very close call. If we don’t get some good news by Easter we will be seriously doubting our ability to put together a race that makes sense for us”, said chief executive, Hugh Roberts.

- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024

- the “cloud of shame” thing has a lot to do with the cycling world’s REACTION to a doped rider, not simply whether or not they doped. merckx got caught over and over, but clearly no cloud of shame affixed by cycling culture to him. same with countless tdf champions and other legends i won’t list again at risk of belaboring the point.OCexile07-11-2024
- He was supposed to race Tour + Vuelta, but since Pogacar and Vingegaard are going there, he changed to Giro + Tour (just to try to win the yellow jersey at the 1st week and the ITT probably). Against Roglic he has a bit more chances in Italy. Press will consider him as the favourite anyways, as usual. Other contenders not to underestimate will be Ayuso and Jorgenson. Now he's just waiting to see how many kilometers the ITTs will have. to formalize his participation.Acapulco07-11-2024
