    Could have gone straight ahead and finished on the Avenue des Champagne. Instead they turn sharp left to take in this finishing climb

    Vollering and Lippert go down on a fairly innocuous corner!

    Niewiadoma and Vollering are adding some extra firepower to the Vos group now. The lead's not coming down quickly, but they're starting to chip into it. Seems to be a bit more cohesion in the group behind too.

    Hmmm, the girls have the team radio...

    How long until we get some "Bono, My Tyres are Knackered" before a massive attack.

    Front Groups back together for a sec
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    Moolman-P told not to ride in the front group. Hits the front and spoils slightly...

    Front groups rejoin. Bit of a ceasefire whilst everyone looks at each other and tries to work out what to do next.

    Not going to be AvV's year

    (which, as horrible as it sounds, is probably better for the race)

    Wow, AVV absolutely pedalling squares here. Predictable bunfight for bonus seconds blew her up totally.

    AvV dropped .....she looked tardy earlier

    Pretty much everyone else from that group now back together, with the exception of AVV - quite a gap had opened up but the descent favoured the chasers.
