    Planned move? Unless Blaak is cooked.

    Cordon will beat Blaak in the sprint. That's the worry.

    Van Vleuten group bridging to leaders. 3 Dutch in the front group of 7.

    Dutch don't want a sprint from this 7.

    Dutch just need to chip away now and then wait for the sprint.

    Some silly buggers going on, they're going to get caught by a chasing group.

    The non-Dutch riders can't piss about here. They might lose it, but they definitely will if they don't chase this down

    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.

    What happened?

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

    Sigh.

    Anyway kom op Chantal!

    Fine, fine race that.

    Nice course, superb crowds, great racing, worthy winner. What more can you ask for?

    This really is a great advert for Bergen, with the weather being glorious the city is being shown off in all its loveliness.

    So, the Dutch mega women chase down the eventual Dutch winner, who would have won in any case, then mark themselves out of silver and bronze. :lol:

    Great ride by Hannah Barnes.

    Good race that, very enjoyable watching.

    Junior men's highlights on Eurosport at 6, that sounds like a good race too!

    Camera rightly stayed on the winner but I was surprised to see the remainder of the break being caught at the last there.

    Traveling all day, so missed it all. Sounds like a really good race, as the woman's races often are!

    Hope I'll be able to catch the men's tomorrow.

    Just tuning in now

    The breaks away with 10 mins on the peleton with 230km to go

    Looks like 2 Irish in the break
