    1. Wins like these just highlight how weak the competition is in women's "pro" cycling–and how poorly organized the teams are. You have a classic, wide, flat sprint finish with the entire peloton there… and only ONE team managed to execute a lead out and a sprinter. ONE team. So… it was Kopecky sprinting against…. herself. Which is a perfect metaphor for women's "pro" cycling.
