    Uttrup Ludwig is on the front. She better be careful, might get a nosebleed.

    Cecilie gets dropped as they hit the foot of the climb. She's breaking my heart, she's shaking my confidence daily.

    Very good, except it wasn't Cecilie getting dropped. She's still in the AvV/Vollering group
    Jubilation! She loves me again!

    Kasia is ridding into yellow if someone doesnt do something

    Can't believe they brought her down so close and let her get away again

    I was clearing some drawers out recently and came across some timing sheets from when I used to organise the club 10 and saw her name on a few of them. I’d forgotten she’d turned up, must have been about 16 at the time as there were parental consent forms too.

    Labous keeps putting in little digs, but none of them particularly hard or well timed.

    Labous is one of the dumbest riders I’ve seen in a long time

    Labous needs to work on her attacks, Vollering barely had to increase her pace.

    Kopecky getting towed to a GC win here.

    They are all dying out there apart from kopecky

    Another of my tenuous links to pro cycling.
    She used to live next door to one of my sisters.

    It’s a bit like watching one of the duller men’s mountain stages-only slower.

    Somebody do something.

    Well the bus will be happy, this is making it much easier for them to avoid the time cut.

    Vollering dropping them now from what I can actually see.
