🎶 El cantautor burgalés, Nacho Pistacho, pondrá letra y música a la IX Vuelta a Burgos Féminas con «Entre Blanco y Negro» 💜 Burgos es ciclismo. Burgos es ciclismo femenino 🚴♀️ Del 16 al 19 de mayo: IX #VueltaBurgos ⏯️youtube.com/watch?v=zFdYhv… #UCIWWT #Burgos
From the 16th to 19th of May, the women's peloton takes on another prestigious stage race in Spain. This time, it's in Burgos. The Vuelta a Burgos Feminas spans four days, offering diverse opportunities for various types of riders during a pivotal moment in the season. Let's delve into its profiles.
The race consists of four days of racing; two of them being suited to the sprinters - although only one is expected to end in a bunch sprint - and two that suit the GC contenders like a glove. They do not feature long ascents, but they will be hard enough for the climbers to prove themselves.

Stage 1: Burgos - Burgos, 123.2 kilometers
The race starts off with a hilly day in and around Burgos. Unlike the men's race it will not end near the castle but instead in the city center, However beforehand the riders tackle several small climbs where differences can be made at any time. It can be an important day for the overall classification under the right circumstances.
Stage 2: Briviesca - Medina de Pomar (Alto de Rosales), 123.2 kilometers
The queen stage? It could well be... The second day of racing has the exact same distance as the first day but when it comes to difficulty it's certainly a step above. Most importantly, it is the only day that features a summit finish.
The climb to the Alto de Rosales is 2.4 kilometers long at 6.3%, although you could argue that the peloton faces 4 kilometers of uphill. Differences will be created at the top and they may not be reversed until the end of the race.
Stage 3: Roa de Duero - Melgar de Fernamental, 123.4 kilometers
Perhaps the most sprinter-oriented day of the race. It is not completely flat, but from Roa de Duero to Melgar de Fernamental there are few obstacles where the sprinters may be dropped. At the end of the 123 kilometers the flat arrival will suit the women that have the most maximum power.
Stage 4: Peñaranda de Duero - Canicosa de la Sierra, 122.3 kilometers
Stage 2 features a summit finish but the fourth day of racing in Burgos is perhaps harder. The serious climbing is further away from the finish, but it is harder. The main feature of the day is the 3.5 kilometer climb at over 9% that summits with 16 kilometers to go.
Into Canicosa de la Sierra the riders find a few small ascents before the main climb; whilst the final kilometers are also not easy. The race could be turned on it's head, but one way or another the climbers will be at the front with no doubt.

- I think the other side has said plenty, given comments about her reputation like what Renz said above. Perhaps this is her chance to speak up against that reputation? I have no idea but her comments seem pretty human, even if each person has their own version of the story.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Give her a team built around her with no competing leaders, like Pogacar has at UAE or Vingegaard has at Visma (seeing how Roglic left), and I wonder how Vollering would do. She’s already so good, and a team dedicated to her could make her even better.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Those injuries, an ability to manage pain and push himself, probably a load of TUEs to help him get back from an awful moment, and competing that hard without the long exercise base that was the norm - no wonder he was exhausted. We’ve now had two consecutive seasons of the second place rider having an injury that interrupts training, and it shows to what level their bodies are tuned for the insane task of winning the Tour. I certainly hope both (and their teams!) are healthy next year. It would be a first, after 4 years.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Winners seem to be like this. Win or lose, it is always on to the next thing. They don’t celebrate the big win, they don’t worry about the painful loss. They move on. It’s an amazing skill. But to be able to ride (and win) while not being able to walk? That’s a level of pain management that boggles my mind. Of course they have it, given what they put their bodies through, but it’s just crazy.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Poor Demi. But she behaves the same way when riding for the national team. Bring me my tiny violin.Renz24-11-2024

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024
