[Update] Vos en Van Vleuten boos over makkelijk Olympisch parcours

Men's and women's road race profiles for Tokyo 2020 Olympics, spot the difference. Weather will be a factor, likely to be hot and humid pic.twitter.com/OEFcNZnPst

Prachtig parcours voor de mannen, slap aftreksel voor de vrouwen. Idioot, die verschillen. https://t.co/78JIxc7SyM

Dus. Het parcours van de wegwedstrijd op de Spelen van 2020 is onthuld. En de vrouwenkoers slaat de hoogtepunten van het mannenparcours over. Geen beklimming van de Fudji, bijvoorbeeld.
Dit kan toch niet serieus zijn?!https://t.co/pGaAz8R3xE

Seriously, this is such a joke. Of course the length shouldn’t be the same but cmon - why do race organizers constantly treat the female riders as weak amateurs?!Hopefully, there is still time to alternate the course. @iocmedia do something...! https://t.co/UAYXiVZut0

These are two completely different courses!

Yo @UCI_cycling, if you say you "can't" fix this inequality before Innsbruck, Tokyo is TWO years away. Do something https://t.co/yCEgCYEbHg

Imagine a CX circuit that avoids the muddy and/or sand sections for the women's race. A XCO parcours that's flat for the women and climby for the men. That doesn't happen, right? What's wrong with road cycling designers, really? How is this even acceptable? #Tokyo2020 pic.twitter.com/Oojh71OkKn

Riders make the race, but the signal that goes out from this different course types for men & women is not the equality #IOC aims for. https://t.co/ktnIQFrBaE

Disappointed (again!) to see the differences in courses between men and womens roadrace in #Tokyo2020 #Equality @UCI_cycling https://t.co/Y48O49I4PH
