News & Racing<\/a><\/p>\n The “big names” were disappointed after the Worlds road race, but Europeans is right around the corner. <\/p>\n Cor Vos<\/p>\n Ohhh Canada… I am still buzzing from that road race! The list of things to talk about is looooong, with almost all the pre-race favourites having something to say about how the race unfolded. One thing was universal, however. Everyone was impressed and respectful of the new world champion who stole the race not only with her legs but her determination and confidence. Magdeleine Vallieres proved that bike races are won on the front foot, not only when you dare to dream, but when you follow through on it. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A suitcase full of maple syrup and dreams of Europe<\/p>\n Magdeleine Vallieres Mill is finding her feet in the WorldTour, and loving every second of it.<\/p>\n With her wins at the Simac Ladies Tour (all but one of the six stages and the overall) and La Choralis Fourmies in September, Lorena Wiebes took over the top spot in the UCI rankings. She leads by 173 points ahead of Demi Vollering. Marlen Reusser bumped Elisa Longo Borghini out of third with her ITT win at Worlds. The top two spots for the 2025 season are between Wiebes and Vollering, but Reusser, Longo Borghini, and Elisa Balsamo are still in the fight for third. <\/p>\n Reusser would very well take home points at the European Championships, as could Longo Borghini, but if Balsamo is headed to China for the last WWT races of the year, that third spot might be hers. The Italian sprinter needs 355 as it stands now to move into third. <\/p>\n The UCI’s individual points standings haven’t meant much since the formation of the WorldTour. Before that, the women’s races were a World Cup format, and the overall leader’s jersey actually meant something. These days, not so much, but it’s still interesting to watch. <\/p>\n Wiebes has never topped the overall standings at season’s end, despite having more wins than most at the end of the year (sprinters tend to do that). This year, however, she’s had 24 stage or race victories, not including overalls or sprint points competitions. Of those, 18 were WorldTour-level events.<\/p>\n In comparison, Vollering only has six wins for the year, not including additional competitions at stage races. Reusser has eight. <\/p>\n This post is for paying subscribers only Already have an account?
