    Just sat down to watch this (unfortunately real life keeps getting in the way). Fair play, the crowds are excellent.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Brits and the Dutch very visible towards the front of the peloton. Just past the feed zone and 44km to go.

    That blew the race into smithereens. Dutch have three in the front 11.

    The British girls are not going to die wondering, are they. Gutsy.

    The Dutch in the front group didn't seem to commit after the huge attack. All back together again.

    Back together again, but another attack goes off straight away. FRA, NED, GBR riders. 22km to go. Really helps teammates avoid working in the main group.

    Dutch attack again, French rider bridges, as does Hannah Barnes - she's having a big race.

    I have to say, after all the hassle the Australian women got trying to get here, they've been active in everything and I'd like to see them get a medal for it.

    Other nations have to think about helping the USA rider at the front of the peleton otherwise it's 3 vs 1

    Dutch and Brits can't afford to make a move from the peloton now but what do Aussies do? Roy still stuck in the gap

    They were only going to take 5 riders, though they had 7 spots :roll:

    Planned move? Unless Blaak is cooked.
