Alpecin?

Consonni's bike throw won her third.

Was watching with French commentary and they were saying Alpecin a lot so it stuck with me.

Yeah good bike throw. Podium is solid after being dropped with 2km to go.

Alpecin rode the last 3kms like Lidl Trek's lead out for Milan in yesterday's stage of TA. Very impressive!

Gillespie (I think) with an interesting take on the "short cut".

 

[RedheadDane]

She certainly didn't Lach speed there.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's nice to see Lach get a first win for SDW. Gillespie once gain proved she has the speed, but she keeps starting the sprints too far back for it to matter.

Yeah, but presumably (hopefully) Gillespie will get better at positioning. She’s only in the WWT for a few weeks and podium finishes here, at Samyn and at the the Omloop von het Hageland is pretty good going.

Demi Vollering missed the Tour de France title by four seconds. What did she do next?

The Dutch rider was narrowly beaten in her bid to retain her title. But she has stormed back at the start of this season using lessons from her childhood

Roland finally managed to stage a race that Stiasny couldn't lose.

The female Kevin Rivera/Iván Sosa?

Joking aside, it's great to see her get a win, even in a far-flung points-farm race.

 

[RedheadDane]

Jutatip Maneephan has been... fairly dominant over in Thailand.

Today, one of the few races where we don't have a clear favorite.
Kopecky, Vas, ELB, Balsamo, Paternoster, Pieterse, Lippert, Reusser, Consonni, Niewiadoma,...

Vos was on the startlist but she will not start today.

It's a shame we have to keep waiting for a race where all the big guns show up. MSR came close, of course, but Van der Breggen was missing (and Reusser, but she still has to reclaim her spot among the very best).

 

[Didinho]

Some good news though: Shirin Van Anrooij is back.

 

[JR1012]

Consonni will also not start.

 

[Didinho]

Consonni will also not start.

Was my favorite for today. Health issues.

 

[Didinho]

Favorites already in front after some hills. Kopecky Longho Reusser Chabbey Bredewold Gerritse Pieterse Brand Henderson.

Seems like no coverage of the women? Sporza had ended. What is this.

It's on Max.

Amber seems to be Kraaking. Or not.

 

[JR1012]

Kopecky not looking good.

 

[Didinho]

Kopecky not looking good.

She got dropped? Or bad positioning because she’s pulling G3 closer now with her teammate.

 

[Didinho]

Reusser looking like her smooth riding self again.

 

[awavey]

A 20km+ solo seems optimistic, surely work together?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm rooting for the Uno-X rider
