"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.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
