Now will Lippert finally get that win in Spain?

Great motor pace for Lianne.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Never in doubt, and Ferguson makes it a 1-2.

 

[Cycling111]

Motorcycles are still too decisive.

All together with just over 60 km to go.

My two takes from this race. There is no way that Lippert should be allowed to ride away from a group of 25, especially, when she was leading for the peleton for much of the last 20kms. Secondly, it was impressive how Cat Ferguson made the front group of 6 after the Cat 1 climb.

Interesting that Sidney Swierenga of the Liva Alula conti team was with the leading group of 27 riders, lost contact with 15kms to go and finished 7 minutes. She must have blown up in her first race out of the junior ctaegory.

Approaching Jabeel hafeet. My tip is Fisher-Black.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Le Court completely exploded.

ooh thought for a moment with Kim in that lead group...but nope gone.

Great ride by De Vries. Kasia is unusually relaxed. Well for a while anyway.

 

[Didinho]

Longo played it good. De Vries strong. Kasia being Kasia.

They should rename it the ELB Hafeet. That final acceleration that broke Kasia was pretty impressive.

it was impressive, one second I thought ooh ELB looks to have gone too quickly there & Kasia is coming back got on the wheel, next sec I look up theres a 20metre gap between them !!

It was shaping up to be a great fight between them, but it didn't last long.

Fine performances from Trinca Colonel, De Vries, Ciabocco, Häberlin, Ghekiere and Nosková, who we know is a great climber, but has a hard time getting to display it.

Think ELB came close to going in the red because she lost a bit of time in the last 2km.

I thought she was, till she accelerated and then it just felt like she controlled the gap
