The Throw to the Line LC20-6

It came down to a well timed bike throw for Lizzie Diegnan (Trek-Segafredo) to claim victory in La Course on the Promenade des Anglais. (Appropriate, given she is an English licensed racer.) Her throw gave her the victory over the fast closing Marianne Vos (CCC-Liv). Seems about right since both women are former UCI Road World Champions. Watching from the sprint from the third step of the podium was Demi Vollering (Parkhotel Valkenburg). Unlike the men, this is only a single day race (although it has been a two stage race in the past). I am excited that the 2022 edition will be a week long race that starts the day after the men's Tour de France.
