The race should be open soon and runs tomorrow so there's not much time to pick your teams.

It's a proper classic with plenty of short sharp climbs and, by the sounds of it, some crap 'cobbles' too.

Three time winner (and reigning champ) Marriane Vos isn't riding but a lot of the other big names in the women's peloton are racing and it should be a good race and with British interest in the shape of Lizzie Armitstead (who finished 7th last year), Lucy Martin and Emma Grant there's plenty to cheer for even if you don't know any of the other riders.

So here is me, pushing to get the womens races into the fantasy game and get a little more attention….Then I go on twitter and see the prizes for today.

A hoover, A deep fat fryer and I think a toaster….I shit you not.

The sponsors and the UCI should be ashamed

That is so shocking that, I promise you, I’ll follow all the women’s cycling I can from now on.

A deep fat fryer? For a pro cyclist?

Wonder which one Lizzie got?
