While the Women's WorldTour showcases thrilling races and new talent, underlying issues threaten its stability. Race cancellations, particularly at lower tiers like the .2 and .1 levels, hinder young riders' development. Mischa Bredewold's victory at Amstel Gold highlights individual success within a dominant team. However, emerging talents like Morven Yeoman face challenges transitioning from junior to senior levels, struggling with both physical demands and psychological hurdles in competitive racing. This situation raises concerns for the future of women's cycling as it relies on nurturing young athletes to build a sustainable sport.
I just wanted to make it to the circuit, but I exceeded my expectations by actually being able to finish the race feeling strong throughout.
Physically, it was really demanding for a young person who hasn't ever raced above 100km before. I think the first stage of Ride London was 150km.
