2020 World Championships - now confirmed for Imola, Italy.

[Zinoviev Letter]

I’m not sure about the timings here. The Australians are driving hard but the gap is going out?

Suddenly dropped 20 seconds.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Now the Dutch decide it is time.

 

[JosephK]

Another crash. Better to be in front, now.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Serious damage now.

 

[JosephK]

Gap tumbling.

 

[Andy262]

The lack of commitment in the break. Surely Mavi Garcia should kick on, if anybody.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Putting the hammer down already!

 

[Eclipse]

Here comes the pain

 

[JosephK]

I still can't believe van Vleuten is back racing already.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Quite a small group now, Demi putting down the power on the climb, now it's van Dijk's turn on the flat.

 

[JosephK]

Dutch up front en masse.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

25 or so in the group

 

[Netserk]

Hmm, I wonder how hard they'll push now. I doubt they'll attack all in.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Vos driving it up the hill

 

[JosephK]

Eddy Merckx arrives.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

AVV breaking the group

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Really great move here. Liane and Lizzie ought to get back on on the descent.

edit: Lizzie looks to have paced this better, Lippert is falling behind much more quickly.

 

[TomLPC]

Pretty mental attack

 

[Andy262]

Surprised Nieuwadoma can't hold the wheels? Badly out of form?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Boom!

 

[JosephK]

Van der Breggen in great shape.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

AVDB solo

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Race over 41 km out

 

[TomLPC]

VV isn't exactly sitting up there

 

[Netserk]

Okay, I thought the headwind would make them wait. Smashing it.
