Only Vos and Armistead working, why wont Olds surely shed be a good shout rather than verses Teutenburg or Bronzini?

Not working together as well as they might.

The one they need to do the most work is Zabelinskaya, as she's the best time triallist in the bunch... but she's also the one most likely to sit on then attack the group, because she can't sprint.

Vos is doing 90% of the work it looks like.

At this rate she'll be a shoe-in for 2nd/3rd/4th

Ah you play the Britain card I see :D

At least Vos is not so stupid as Britain to keep sitting in the peloton and waiting ;)

Vos is really using a lot of energy, compared to the other girls in the break.

well if you are (perceived to be) so strong, it's your race to lose. Vos knows that too I think, and she will just have to deal with it. :)

Finnish tv has an okay-ish broadcast, says gap is 21sec now. Growing slowly, then.

Weird.

Vos doing all the work and apparently going for the 2nd again. Sigh.

True, that's why she should send her countrywomen on the road, but apparently they're not strong enough.

Olds still taking short turns, have a sneaky feeling for her if they stay away,she chased down on the hill looks strong.

Yeah I was wondering about their tactics too.

I first thought Vos might be too antsy; too eager to not miss the decisive attack or something. From what I have seen, she has been reacting to every move...

Or her team mates aren't good enough as you said.

Think they're all working well together, Vos the strongest, but not seen much from Olds but maybe I've just been missing her turns?

Time gaps are very very unreliable i'd say.

From 12 to 33 to 27 to 14... :rolleyes:

I suspect they use GPS from the motor, which is quite unreliable with small gaps like this.
