I wonder if LCB is skipping San Fran because she is worried about the bike course being very technical. She does almost all her training indoors and I don’t know if she is that confident with her bike handling skills. I also think that is the real reason she not doing Nice this year. It’s definitely her prerogative to choose the races she thinks best suit he skill set, but would also be nice to see her face new challenges.[/quote]



I thought the same, maybe she is ducking but then she had the fastest bike split in Singapore which was both hilly and technical and from the live feed looked like she was taking the corners really well. Then she put out a post race video saying she has been really working on her handling skills. Perhaps she recognised it was a weakness and has worked on it?
