Looks like Vollering group given up the chase

A just reward for Bradbury, after she was not selected in the Aussie team in the 2022 World's in Wollongong, Australia.

Bradbury with the win, Kasia 2nd, 2mins10 gained on Vollering in GC.

So Demi still 1st but I think Neve moves upto 2nd now with those bonus seconds

Unfortunately I didn't have time to watch the stage, but it's always a huge delight whenever a CSR attack actually succeeds. In a perfect world, it would have been a Chabbey victory, but at least it looks like she will add another QOM title to her palmares. Bradbury keeps giving me the finger for having lost faith in her ahead of this season.

What does CSR mean? Clasica San Remco?

Canyon SRAM, CSR is the UCI code for the team

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.

I am guessing Jayco will go hard for Bradbury to boost their climbing stocks. Think they have give up on Gigante.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Bradbury is a quality rider.

That said, I am utterly disgusted with Canyon-SRAM's actions today in not letting the requirements of my CQ team take priority and either letting Kasia off the leash or letting her take the win once she'd stuck with and guided Bradbury to the finish.

All this damned pragmatism and tactical common sense is just unbecoming. I don't want it to be another five years before we see another win, Pana Katarzyna.

 

[awavey]

Chabbey has won the QoM with still a climb to go.

All together at the moment though a vastly reduced peloton.

I am unsure how this stage will end up with small groups scattered over the road. We are over the toughest part of the stage, however. teams do not want to make mistakes again costing GC positions.

 

[awavey]

Still the Zigart breakaway up front, group of 7 chasing with Labous & Niedermaier probably biggest GC threats, currently 2nd & 3rd now on virtual GC, but looks a every team represented group, so not sure what they'll do as they're closing the gap slowly.

Even more reduced peloton seemingly just cruising behind them over 4mins back.

 

[awavey]

Labous now virtual GC leader

 

[awavey]

Zygert caught, peloton back to 2mins20 behind final categorised climb coming up

 

[yaco]

Zygart has been very strong, although, she is working too much in the group. Think this group of five will win the stage.

 

[yaco]

There is a possibility that group 2 may even be caught by group 3 because Ruegg and Gaskjenn who are in this group can do a good final sprint.

 

[awavey]

Looks like G1 and G2 are coming together

 

[awavey]

Cadzow crash on the descent

 

[yaco]

I can see why Jayco is undecided whether to renew Zigart's contract. She has too many deficiencies in her skill set to be a GC rider. She is better suited to be a stage hunter.

 

[yaco]

I am surprised SD worx has not dropped Fisher-Black back to the chasing group who are less than 2o seconds behind. Especially, seeing Fisher Black is barely working in group one and she has little chance of winning from that group.

[awavey]

That thing where you had to dip out for a bit, come back the gap between G1 and G2 is the same but all the riders have swapped around
