    18 months older than Armitstead, yet look at the difference in results.

    Vos doing too much work. Massive gap behind so Vos should let her team mate take the wind.
    Vos riding like the old Nicole Cooke, doing too much. Think Vos might lose this.

    Aside - Apparently Cav helped a young Lucy Garner with the tactics - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/others ... e-win.html

    Just after I went back to them from the BBC.
    Their ad break timing is getting even worse.

    Good ride by the Aussie girl there. Made the right move but was just outclassed

    When I saw her grab the flag, that's exactly what I thought was going to happen.

    Masterclass.

    The best of the rest just beat the 5 minute down mark.

    Cav should get his new team to sign Vos as his new lead out man.
    Much better than Rabo Renshaw.

    WTF is the point in sprinting when you're over four-and-a-half minutes down?

    Goosebumps when she attacked. Her talent is unreal. True heavyweight, true racer, true champion.

    5mins back to the buch is totally insane.

    Wow. Men tomorrow have a lot to do to tomorrow to match the class today.

    World Champs is well worth a long weekend away. Been to Plouay and Verona in the past and a great weekend. Lots of cycling and beer! Happy days! :D

    Yes, but I suspect that the men wouldn't let a break containing Gilbert but not, say, a Spanish or Italian rider go away with two laps to go and then sit around scratching their collective testicles while the break gains 1 minute in just ten minutes away.
