    Still in yellow, now just 3" in front of Kopecky. Proper fighter!

    Final stage of the Simac Ladies Tour today, a bit of a lumpy circuit that should give it a chance of not going to a bunch sprint.

    The race is wide open with just a few seconds separating the podium and the top 10 all within 41"

    Zoe Backstedt still hanging on in 2nd place despite not having any teammates since stage 2, and she's the youth jersey leader as well.

    Trust SD Worx to sew things up with Lotte Kopecky - led out by Weibes in green to take the stage and GC, catching lone breakaway Silke Smulders on the line. The bumps weren't quite big enough to create proper splits in the end.

    Zoe finished 12th on the stage, drops to 3rd in the GC and wins the white jersey.

    A likely GC winning victory for Van Eetvelt in Guaunxi queen stage today.

    Is being the next Eddy Merckx good enough in the Pog era though?

    Looks like Onley had a decent ride today too.

    Since it's the season, INEOS only have 1 rider in the GC top 60.

    Jez Cox confusing the race timer with the gap is getting silly now.

    Wurf top world tour pro at Kona, finishing 7th: think he was fastest in his age group.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say this crit "result" means Cav goes another year - they'd have had him win his last race otherwise I think 😅

    While that would be fun, it seems to me that they usually let the TDF jersey winner win, if i'm not mistaken.
