Womens World Cup
Thought I would get in there before someone starts a thread asking when it will be open.
I am working on things, but there is just no information coming from team or organisers. I've tried many times to get team details for the first race, the Boels Rental Ronde van Drenthe, on 15th March.
So it is currently looking doubtful at best. If that doesn't go ahead, I'll have to wait on Dave's decision, but I would pull the whole womens world cup and replace it with the womens Giro and Tour of Britain.
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Thanks, that's probably a good point about all the different profiles - I hadn't thought of that. Interesting Unior tool, thanks for the link.

Having basic DIY skills for anthing, including bikes, is a great help when you do need to go to the professionals.

no, because it's cyclists who want to take us back to the Stone Age

Its done now - I slipped out of the top 10 but managed 1st and 2nd in Forum comp, I suspect due to a slightly higher could-be-arsed quotient. Really enjoyed it though, just a shame you can't watch the races live as you'd learn so much more about them.
I'm all for repeating next year, and including a couple of the one-day races that get televised ie the Paris and London ones.
More than likely, by the RVV last year that certainly seemed to be the case, though there were a couple of big injuries that took some big players out...hopefully that doesn't happen again this year! Already had De Vries out for a bit with a snapped collarbone!
I have to say, there are a few "cheap gems" in the mix at the moment, I've seen some names in the 3-5k region that I thought were quite surprising!
Good work! I had Van der Breggen over Longho Borghini unfortunately...
Peleton watch has just confirmed the top 4 to me on Twitter but even the uci hasn't tweeted results yet :s
Although even the UCI don't seem to share your views ...
If it's unofficial, it's not unapproved eg...
Siri Minge?
Yeah I know and looking at the outcome I would have scored quite highly ....oh well fest la vie
Whenever Gkam is back from being away im guessing
I'm looking at your team right after the race is over!
First news I see about Women's RVV from @PelotonWatch states Amialiusik DNS
@cyclingweekly tweets you can follow women's RVV at @UCIWomenCycling
1 Up and Doon Hills Gkam84 200
'
not sure what has happened but I haven't got a score for the first race in the Women's World Cup despite having picked a team.
I'm guess Blad is Dutch, it came from the official site.
Yeah B-Kam is my site. Just set up in business. G stands for Guitarist that was my first kind of only identity, it was Guitaristkam. Over the years its come down to Gkam84.
So it was logical for me, going into business and working with bikes, that guitarist wasn't going to work. but bicyclist would...So its Bicyclist-Kam, shorted to B-Kam
Incase you are wondering where Kam comes from, those are my initials.
The starting values came from their UCI standings last year, with some calculations and jiggery pokery...BOOM
Is there a problem with the db again? I can't pick a team as all riders are greyed out and apparently no riders in this race (next weekends race) ?
No issue at all. There are no riders loaded because there is no startlist
I was on Twitter checking out the #ddv hashtag and I saw Amy Pieters won the women's Dwars door Vlaanderen. I have to guess this race isn't part of the Women's World Cup, right?
The only races in the world cup are those listed in the game
Boels Rental Ronde van Drenthe
Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio
Ronde van Vlaanderen
La Flèche Wallonne Féminine
Tour of Chongming Island
Sparkassen Giro Sun
Open de Suède Vargarda TTT
Open de Suède Vargarda
GP de Plouay-Bretagne
Pretty sure I would have been the only person here who was at Trofeo Binda last year and rode some of the course as a guest of one of the teams. I can't lose!
Hope there isn't a late withdrawal from Minge.
She isn't in the startlist, I think it was Dave who has loaded in all the riders. But there are teams missing, so waiting for him to sort that and I can load them in.
The startlist is patchy at best, here is what I can see so far http://women.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editi...
Ahahaha, damnit, I picked a team thinking 'yeaaaaah such a win' - then checked the start list.
Half my riders aren't riding
back to the drawing board!
^^ btw, I'd say we can expect a fuller startlist tomorrow, it's usually a 24hour thing with the world cup I think
Keeps us on our toes!
I wouldn't even expect a startlist for this race, even after its been completed. The organisers won't reply to emails, tweets and I even phoned them....lets just say that didn't work because of my lack of language skills.
Because I didn't think anyone else would want to incur the charges of calling Italy, where as I just write them off as a business expense
One thing that might help is that there is a full startlist published for the ladies' Gent-Wevelgem on the same day. Is there any chance of removing those riders from the Alfredo Binda startlist? At least it makes the waters slightly less muddy...
Don't wish to be one of those 'Told You So' people but.......
@ray "I told you so" what exactly??
GKam, give Sarah C a shout on Twitter, she's honestly your best call on extracting info, she's got all the conatcts for media stuff.
As mentioned, we can expect the start list proper by tomorrow mid-morning as far as I'm aware.
The link you have to cyclingfever is as good as any normally, but maybe check out procyclingstats and podiumcafe too.
@mooleur
that this would be a bit of a disaster
Well said that drheaton, totally agree. It's lovely that you guys are making this effort and a real testament to the growing popularity of the women's sport.
CX would be ace - as would a domestic game too, I'm much more interested in the likes of the tour series, mens premier cal and women's national series - and luckily start lists are normally pretty accessible from velouk and BC. ^_^
