TTT win by Lidl stacking it in the final corner was a new one

Zoe B looked like she was towing the entirety of the Canyon/SRAM team round on her own.

Canyon Sram were 2 riders down before the start due to illess were they not?
1 -
Yes, they were due to start with only 6 then Neve Bradbury pulled out sick at the last minute taking them down to 5. Kasia has been sick since LBL too

Yeah think it was said this was the first time she'd been on a bike since. Not exactly ideal prep

No you don't want your recovery training to be a 8 day stage race at the highest level

Did she attack the barriers hardest?

Thanks, was doing my head in that she'd somehow ended up in a youth jersey at 32.
It's a Spanish race so combativity in a TTT is probably a Movistar TTT tribute award....

Crashtastic finale took a lot of riders out on consecutive roundabouts, while Kool was already in a second group (shelled on the climb?). Allison Jackson takes the sprint

The main reason I love women’s sport? You’re rarely left wondering if they’re happy about the win 😎

The rain in Spain causing the usual havoc for pro races. Sadly, it looks like Anna Henderson was the main victim, as she DNF'd after coming down in the first crash.

Superb work by Kristen Faulkner coming to help Alison Jackson win.
Jackson was in 4th position as they started along the final straight, Faulkner about 12th and a good 20 m back from the front, but she accelerated past everyone, took Jackson in her tow, and then powered forward as lead-out, leaving Jackson just needing to do the last 175 m.

I'm enjoying seeing Flora Perkins up there and mixing with the best. She was 8th on the first road stage and 6th yesterday.

Echelons on today's stage have blown it apart before the TV coverage has even started. 19 riders 40 seconds ahead of a second group.

I have now had the same problem, possibly worse.
I have been watching Frankfurt on the app, but it’s now disconnecting, every time I try to load it.
Since Eurosport have chosen to show this race live on tv, rather than the men’s world tour race, I have had to resort to watching it on the Eurosport website.
Not happy paying 3 times as much for a far inferior product.

Impressive ride to win by Faulkner, good watch.

Strange one that, ELB/Kasia/Vollering/Vas were metres away from getting on Faulkner's wheel at the top of the small climb then sat up
0 -
To me it looked like ELB was doing most of the chasing to bring the gap down then swung off to get the others to help and the gap opened again.
