The Vikings are coming!
That ramp at 450m to go is going to be brutal and decisive.
edit... ok the bit out of town doesn't. But the bit in town does.
Bit steep, isn't it?
Break still being given nothing.
Van Vleuten makes a big move to split the peloton open...
Looks like there might be too many heads there to keep this select group away - they're all watching each other a bit.
I was going to say you could at least have found a picture of a woman cyclist and a cow, but it has proved surprisingly difficult, there's lots of omafiets and cows but very few road bikes an cows... This was the best I could manage.
