Pooley straight up through the pack, off the front, catches van Dijk and... sits up.

They needed more laps of this, they simply don't believe they can stay away.

Armitstead now attacking solo. Quite strange.

Ruben, you just watch, Annemiek will suddenly go solo with 10km to go having not done any work all day and will win, now you've said that.

funny how they do the superslomo in cycling. When you watch fencing they just use a regular slomo, and even that goes too fast in many cases.


Did Vos and van Vleuten indicate they still had trouble after their recent crashes?

pia sundstedt is still in the main group I presume. nice.

Yup.

We now have an interesting situation as Olga Zabelinskaya's going for a looooong solo. A former junior world TT champion, and who has been very good in the last two years. It's too far unless she gets a lot of help from the bunch messing around, now Emma Pooley trying to counter-attack... is that Evelyn Stevens with her?

Edit: no, it's Neben - two former World TT champions now catching the Russian, and Vos too!

TV captions say Armitstead and Olds with Vos and Zabelinskaya.

If this group stays away Zabelinskaya MUST attack again, because Armitstead and Olds are both sprinters and Vos will obviously beat her in a sprint too.
