Vos is the greatest cyclist ever lived. Mountain bike, cross, road, track. This woman was born to ride bikes. Hats off to her!

Nothing to add. She's on another planet.:D

(Fantastic week for Dutch cycling, btw.):cool:

Ratto was very good. Solid and strong.

Don't know if the Americans tactics were smart. Maybe they should have played it out slowly and hit everyone hard in the final laps. Was a good race to watch though.

Nice podium and well deserved. Someone needs to talk to Tiffany Cromwell about attacking before the halfway mark up a 4km climb when outnumbered by 3 Italians and 2 Dutch women. Not the smartest thing I've seen. However she rode very well given 2 laps in the Aussie team were down to 3 riders.
She attacked a total of 3 times, including one that was 40 km from the finish. As you said she needed to be smarter, but her last attacks were good (she just needs to ride with Porte more often :p )
