I agree with katluvr - finding information on women's racing is more difficult. VeloNews has gotten better recently with several articles on Kristin Armstrong, one today on Jeannie Longo (who will be racing here in MA next week in the Fitchburg Longsjo stage race - in my category. Thankfully, I'll just be spectating...), and others on the recent women's races in Europe.
We don't hear as much about it because it is a much smaller presence than men's racing, both nationally and internationally.
That said, anyone looking for some exciting women's racing in MA next weekend should trek out to Fitchburg - 111 Pro/1/2 women taking the line for the four-day stage race, including Jeannie, Catherine Cheatley, Laura Van Gilder, Lyne Bessette, Tina Pic and more. It will be a field deep with talent...

I'm a big Marianne Vos fan. She is spectacular and extremely versatile.

Too bad that woman's cycling has absolutely no success in my country.My cycling hero: http://www.cyclinghalloffame.com/rid...asp?rider_id=1

I can't believe Jeannie Longo is still doing so well.
Back in the day she didn't have a lot of competition. Twenty years later she has plenty, and she's still competitive. That's one amazing woman.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Info about it is out there if you keep up with cyclingnews or any of the other sites that give updates/reports on all of the bigger races. You usually just have to search a little or at least have a race in mind then look for results/reporting about the race.

She's 10 years older than me, and would probably beat the pants off of me! And the rest of the filed is likely on average about 10 years younger than me! Originally Posted by TxDoc

Plus, it's a hilly race - I am NOT a hill climber.
