    Thought I would get in there before someone starts a thread asking when it will be open.

    I am working on things, but there is just no information coming from team or organisers. I’ve tried many times to get team details for the first race, the Boels Rental Ronde van Drenthe, on 15th March.

    So it is currently looking doubtful at best. If that doesn’t go ahead, I’ll have to wait on Dave’s decision, but I would pull the whole womens world cup and replace it with the womens Giro and Tour of Britain.

    Well said that drheaton,
    Well said that drheaton, totally agree. It’s lovely that you guys are making this effort and a real testament to the growing popularity of the women’s sport. 😀

    CX would be ace – as would a domestic game too, I’m much more interested in the likes of the tour series, mens premier cal and women’s national series – and luckily start lists are normally pretty accessible from velouk and BC. ^_^

    In fairness a couple of the races that are now in the game were disasters in their first year, races like the Tour de Med, Algarve and Catalunya have a history of shit information and late roster notifications, it just happens.

    These races have also improved over the last couple of years to the point where we don’t have the same sorts of issues with them.

    Hopefully as the profile of women’s racing grows these races will get their shit together and start to operate more professionally but in the mean time I’m happy that the game is in there now and set up to take advantage of the growing popularity of women’s racing.

    What do we want next then? Cyclo-cross…? 😀

    @ray “I told you so” what exactly??

    GKam, give Sarah C a shout on Twitter, she’s honestly your best call on extracting info, she’s got all the conatcts for media stuff.

    As mentioned, we can expect the start list proper by tomorrow mid-morning as far as I’m aware.

    The link you have to cyclingfever is as good as any normally, but maybe check out procyclingstats and podiumcafe too.

    One thing that might help is that there is a full startlist published for the ladies’ Gent-Wevelgem on the same day. Is there any chance of removing those riders from the Alfredo Binda startlist? At least it makes the waters slightly less muddy…

    Because I didn’t think anyone else would want to incur the charges of calling Italy, where as I just write them off as a business expense 😉

    Why don’t you put out a call on Twitter for someone to help you translating or talking directly to the organizers? Or tweet to a rider who speaks the language and is on one of the corresponding ‘brother’ teams for help? Who’s the biggest budget team in this series? I’ll help you out! 🙂 I love the fact you’re so persistent! Don’t give up! 🙂

    I wouldn’t even expect a startlist for this race, even after its been completed. The organisers won’t reply to emails, tweets and I even phoned them….lets just say that didn’t work because of my lack of language skills.

    ^^ btw, I’d say we can expect a fuller startlist tomorrow, it’s usually a 24hour thing with the world cup I think 🙂
