    There’s a breakaway of one with a one minute lead. So essentially it all together.

    The woman’s peloton really doesn’t like to let a sizeable breakaway get up the road.

    Chloe Dygert having a torrid time on a wet descent. Crashed again and now cornering like a Reliant Robin.

    Already a minute behind the bunch.

    Tell you what they close the roads TdF early for this race too. Even in Belgium where you'd expect them to be used to this sort of thing...

    She's not your average neo-pro though, is she? Her spring campaign was pretty impressive for someone who'd ridden two professional road races before this season (one of which was last year's Strade Bianche where she finished fifth).

    It's interesting how Puck's conversion to the road has thus far been much more successful than Fem van Empel's, who most times beats Puck convincingly on the cross field.

    Attitude.

    She's not quite my cup of tea in 'cross, but she's determined and feisty, an excellent racer.

    Why swap bikes with a team mate when it is way too big for you and you can't ride it?

    Vos demonstrates how it should be done.

    Hope Georgi is OK, she looked in a lot of pain. Probably the only way there was going to be any jeopardy in the race, Vollering looked like she was struggling a bit with the back and hip. Hopefully she's OK to carry on and I suspect that, if she is, she'll make up the deficit quite comfortably. Pleased for Niewiadoma and also for Vas who just missed out on an Olympic medal.
