Ladies Tour of Qatar: Stage one

[SimonD]

I think this might be Chloe Hosking's first race for Team Columbia and possibly the biggest she's yet ridden. (??) Either way, she has got herself a pretty brilliant start! Might make Tom B feel a bit better for being pwned in the sprint by her before Christmas!

speaking of being beaten by girls:

sometimes girlss race with us in the B-grade wednesday crits. Many are top australian riders. Also, most of the B-grade boys are office worker hack cyclists like myself. I am very surprised that many of the b grade boys consistently outperform the girls.

are the girls holding back, or is the physical difference between boys and girls extremely large?

Readers note that Bosworth is trolling.

What an impressive effort by Chloe - that's gals amazing. I continue to be surprised at how many great cyclists Canberra seems to produce - all the hills have to be good for something :)
