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."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
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!

Watch for an up-and-comer named Coryn Rivera.
I was at the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix last month and saw this tiny woman win the Cat 3 race. The next day I logged onto the web site to see how all my friends finished. Lo and behold, I noticed that the same woman entered the Cat 1-2 Pro race immediately afterwards and finished mid-pack. They were flying. So who was she?
I googled her name and discovered that she is a 14-year-old from Orange County. Not only that, she is the junior champion in road, track and cyclocross. You go, girl!

Nicole Cooke
Nicole Cooke, Britains best road cyclist male or female at the minute and current World Cup holder (also a previous junior mtb champion):
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/othe...ng/5310702.stm
We hear very little about what Nicole is up to in the UK even though she actually wins things!
Also on the MTB front Tracey Moseley who's just won the World Cup downhill title. Britain is quite well respresented in women's dowhill but not XC for some reason, possibly because Nicole concentrates on the road.

Wow, looking from the european (road) side there are loads of pro girls worth mentioning. But I'll stick to 2 girls (and leave out the german onces
)
US: Amber Neben, an US girl riding on the continent for a dutch pro team
NL: Marianne Vos, the world champion Road and CX (and only 19 years old)
Owh and another news website (in english)Last edited by Mimosa; 10-18-2006 at 03:19 AM.
