    Realini? Of course she sprinted for it, she's a professional rider.

    It does seem pretty poor bladder control to need to stop for a wee when the race only took about 2h30m. Such short stages are going to be full gas all the way you'd think.

    Well that was fun, wasn't it? Don't think it's going to improve Vollering's feelings about yesterday much...

    Hopefully it fuels all sorts of debatable racing drama

    Outstanding effort by Vollering. Almost made the miracle happen!

    I was at the finish, it was pretty amazing. AvV no longer the strongest but she never gives up and held on for grim death! Got a nice photo with her at the finish (I’ve been riding with her in Colombia twice, so she knows me).

    Good racing all week. Very close finish, I thought Vollering was just going to shade it.
