US rider hits polish soigner in the feedzone. Painful whack to her elbow. Fortunately only 1 rider down.
Pace looks a bit too sedate really. Needs a bit more pressure to thin out numbers.0 -
US rider who fell (eva sykes) who was down for quite some time has rejoined the back of the race - joining a couple of dutch stragglers and 2 others.0
-
the chauvinist pig in me does reluctantly accept I couldn't keep up with these ladies.0
-
5 chasers including Eva Sykes and 2 dutchies are working well together but still about 1.10 behind.
Peloton not really pushing on.0 -
Watching the U18 men yesterday I was terrified for them weaving over the central whitelines in the miserable conditions.
Today there is a clear 1/2m gap down the middle of the peloton whenever catseyes appear.
Question - commentator just mentioned that the ladies are on restricted gears - is that right?
Chasers can now see the cars, gentle tailwind.0 -
It's a real shame Ethan Hayter isn't riding the men's u23 race later. He and Pidcock could have been as dominant as Simmons and Sheffield in the junior race. Still fancy GB to get a win though, most likely (but not necessarily) through Pidcock.Team My Man 2022:
Antwan Tolhoek, Sam Oomen, Tom Dumoulin, Thymen Arensman, Remco Evenepoel, Benoît Cosnefroy, Tom Pidcock, Mark Cavendish, Romain Bardet0 -
Did he say why not?
Bit more pace in the peloton. 5 chasers stuck at 1.100 -

Bit of a break with a french (working) and chilean (drafting) rider.0 -

Lots of action in the peloton, the 5 chasers a lot closer, but i've not yet seen them on screen.

Don't worry about it. My bbc feed is running a bit slow.
Eleanor sadly took that last corner terribly, needing to be way further to the front, so the Russian and US riders had it in the bag from there. Well, until the Russian starting playing games she was never going to win and then lost 3 or 4 places in the final sprint.0
