You sure it's Harris? Last I heard she was out the back. Pooley riding strongly though

They just, quite sensibly, didn't want to let Vos go up the road.

PFP looking very poor. So poor it's hard to belive she will figure much in the XCO either

My Girl Neff quietly in all the right places!

Please help really struggling here to keep up. On my holis in Vienn (GMT +2), local time about 19:30, last comment was 17:25. Is the board still on GMT or BST? Plus somewhat annoyingly I can't find a working channel showing the WRR on the tellybox. French Canal+ showed the men's race and was working fine yesterday but now strangely the channel isn't workin at all. Can't find a ticker either. Also feel cheated because the Danube is more of a pooh brown than blue.

So what is happening with the race please and thank you.

Audrey cordon attacks

The Velocast is more concerned with how the mechanics touch their riders cos that's where the real news is

Would've thought if they were happy for Pooley to attack then they'd be fine with Vos being with her.

More attacks neutralised, peloton of around 40 riders together with 47km to go.

I did notice a bit of bum touching from the mechanic.

Attacks chipping off the front but nothing sticking.

ddraver

Gruppo compacto

ddraver

42 to go. The Germans try and drive the pace, helped by the Italians.

Think GvA has put the wind up everyone though. Everyone is too scared to work

ddraver

40 to go. Trixxi Worrack is allowed to go by her own team

Trixxi had a kidney removed after the Tour of Qatar!

PFP chases

ddraver

Voss has pulled 5 riders off the front after Trixxi

thegibdog

Getting interesting now.

ddraver

Dribs and drabs trying to get across

Its kind of a break of super domestiques tho

ddraver

25 secs and growing

USA GB Spain. Etc need to get on this...

r0bh

Nice moto pacing session for the break!

ddraver

37s and rising...

germcevoy

GB have missed this move. Break getting quite a bit of assistance from the motos.

thegibdog

Group of 7 pulling out a 40 second gap. Peloton not chasing hard yet.

yourpaceormine

Really is very much appreciated DD, thank you

ddraver

Germans sitting at the head of the bunch congratulating themselves on their work...

31 to go, 50s
