1. La Flèche Wallonne Féminine. So, Lotta Lepistö didn't enter the race. The race ended pretty well for her team - Bigla Pro Cycling Team - though, with team mates finishing in second and fourth place (and 29th, 75th, 80th and 89th). Lizzie Armitstead finished in 21st place.
2. Lotta Lepistö will, however, enter the EPZ Omloop van Borsele, in the Netherlands, tomorrow. We doubt they will show the race on Eurosport, right now Eurosport seems obsessed with snooker. But we wish her the best of luck in the race!
3. And on Sunday it's time for the last spring classic: Liège Bastogne Liège. That will be shown on Eurosport. (Could that be because Liège Bastogne Liège is a men's race?!)
(We borrowed this picture from Nalini voorjaarsklassiekers collectie. Hope that's OK!)
We like these jerseys, from Nalini. Especially Liegi Bastogne Liegi (that's Italian for Liège Bastogne Liège) 1892 and Milano San Remo 1907.
4. Kalmar Grand Prix. This is where we (some of us) are from! It's on the 1st of August, it only costs 395 Swedish krona - € 39.74 (for the 70 km version), everyone who finishes the race gets a medal and a goodie-bag, you start and finish on the Larmtorget square - a cobblestone/pavé square in the middle of Kalmar and since it's in Kalmar there are no hills in the race. (Sometimes it's just nice to not have to ride up hills.) We usually don't promote things here on our blog, but we are really pepped up about riding the 70 km version. You can find out more about it here. (Swedish only.)
Race safe!
