Elise Chabbey finished the “Challenge by La Vuelta”, the women’s Tour of Spain, in an excellent eighth place finish. The 29-year-old Genevan can now prepare for the Worlds to be held in Australia in a week.
Elise Chabbey, who narrowly missed victory on Friday in the 3rd stage where she finished second, proved the excellent form she has had since the start of the season. On the occasion of the Tour de France and the Giro, his 11th and 12th respective ranks had already shown his qualities.
On the other hand, Marlen Reusser, 2nd in the general classification of Vuelta last year, has not had the same success this season. The European time trial champion finished the race in 29th place.
Impressive Annemiek van Vleuten
Annemiek van Vleuten managed the pass of 2. The Dutchwoman, already winner last year, celebrated a sort of Grand Slam with successes this season at the Tour de France, the Giro and the Vuelta.
The Swiss duo Reusser-Chabbey will fly to Australia on Monday where the Wollongong World Championships will start next Sunday with the time trials.
