It was a great race and win for Evie and she clearly can lay down the power on punchy climbs etc. A lot of times in the past she had faded in the back half of races so nice to see her get better over the course of this one.
Regarding men’s race I couldn’t help think about Pidders - I know he needs / wants grand tour experience but instead of slaving away at La Vuelta, he likely could have ridden away from the field at this Worlds. Guess Ineos doesn’t see a rider in MTB rainbows to be as meaningful? And what a weekend for Blevins!
