Thanks!
It's completely not her style to preserve legs by gambling to not stick to the front tho. If she feels good she always closes almost everything, so it's a sign for me that she's again not feeling great.
Yes, Grace Brown will win this for me!
Grace Brown might get you half a point.
Still better than zero. She's still in with chance of getting more though.
So, you'll go from being "Hopelessly Behind" to just "Behind".
I'm not at all bragging about my position in/near the top.
Hey, look Samu!
You got points.
I've been training and then busy this morning so only seen bits of the women's race. How have 2 pairs of teammates failed to catch Van Vluten????
Happy to see AVV take the win
Thank you for the explanation that made sense, nicely done. But even in the final kms there seemed a lack of cooperation.Because she had already tired them out by then. Think of it like a group of five having the combined power of one Fausto Masnada being up against one rider with the power of two.

Still AVV is just too strong
That's no excuse. Masnada would have steamrolled past her.Because she had already tired them out by then. Think of it like a group of five having the combined power of one Fausto Masnada being up against one rider with the power of two.
