I guess it makes sense, but it seems odd to hear the climbers referred to as the Queens of the Mountains. I did notice that the race organizers hadn't bother to make two different sets of climb markers (notice the KOM on the inflatable on the side of the road). Mara Abbot (Wiggle High5) easliy claimed the maximum points on the hardest climb of the day up and over Harris Grade Road. Her progress was closely monitor by the Yellow Jersey of Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans) and her teammate, Evelyn Stevens (who is in third on the General Classification.) The climb featured a breath taking view of the Pacific Ocean and an escort from Wonder Woman herself. That tifosi seemed most appropriate.
