To start, here are a couple links:
http://www.ladiescycling.net Scroll down to choose your language. Alot of these race updates are about European/International racing. Good for you gals overseas...
http://www.womenscycling.net/index.htm Lots of pics here!
Here's one of the VeloNews pics. Came out sortof grainy from the scanner, sorry. It's of Sabrina Jonnier (Iron Horse-Monster team) who won the Pro Women's downhill at the Aug. 12th NORBA finals in Snowmass, Colorado.
And before I quit this for the night, here's Laura Van Gilder, who is currently on the top of the standings for USCF Cat 1 Criterium & Road. It won't let me do a "save as", so here's the link:

Marie-Hélène Prémont.
Mountain bike queen.
And an amazing smile.
I was lucky enough to see her this summer as I was riding with my better half on the Marie-Hélène Prémont Véloroute near Québec City. She lives right around the corner in Château-Richer and there she was, riding home on her mountain bike. She very nicely responded to our casual salutation. Here she is:

(edited to say: not sure she's really a pro though. just a queen!)Last edited by Grog; 09-11-2006 at 09:14 PM.

I don't know of anyone to add, but I'll throw in my two cents that it would be great to add a forum for Pro Racing in general. Then we could discuss George, Levi, whassis name, etc, and have those in the know post info about the female racers that we all need to learn more about.
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

Good idea....or just ONE (count it, ONE) thread for the pro guys. After all, it's a women's forum and they get ENOUGH coverage.
We can be stingey!
