I just saw your list, it’s very helpful, thank you!
To follow Italian cycling I find http://www.pedalerosa.it/ very interesting.
And here’s the Twitter account: http://twitter.com/IlPedaleRosa
Sometimes they also do some live tweeting on international races, always in Italian.

Giving our support from South Africa to our womens cyclists on twitter and our website http://www.cyclingdirect.co.za. Enjoy your training camp in Spain and say hallo to Ashleigh for us.
I was wondering where all those new followers came from.
Feel honoured to be named with all these people.
And I agree to include Chloe (Velonova), Gwena for the French and Marcos (El Peloton) and Saul(C&H) for the Spanish riders.
Oh, and I love CJ Farquharson’s work – her race reports and photos on http://www.womenscycling.net
her photos at http://www.cjfoto.com/
and of course her @womenscycling twitter, she was the best person for info on things like Languedoc and Toscana as they happened
We are trying to do our bit as a forum , http://velorooms.com/index.php?action=forum we have a womens news section, and as many race threads as we can, as well as many highlights as we can find, pop over have a look
ps good luck this year
Oooh, good list!
Some more I follow
For French news, Gwéna on twitter and her website:
http://cyclismefeminin.over-blog.com/
and VeloNova:
and in Spanish, El Pelotón and Cobbles & Hills have women’s sections:
http://elpeloton.net/feminas/
http://cobblesandhills.com/wordpress/category/femenino/
They’re especially good for races in those countries, and riders who speak the languages
I pretty much live on the Cycling Fever’s women’s sections when I’m looking up race calendars, and I love love love love their video section especially – @CyclingFlash is a superstar for finding things
http://women.cyclingfever.com/
and last but definitely not least, Cyclopunk has a site, Les Déesses de la Route, where he posts race previews and news and stuff. He’s great!
