I doubt very much that Consonni had the legs after competing in PR - The other teams did well in allowing Valcar to boss the peleton.

UAE ought to help Niamh Fisher-Black here really, they've got a much better shot of winning with Bastianelli from that group of 6 especially bearing in mind Vollering looks pretty cooked. I know they probably back Marta from behind either. SD Worx need to keep the heat up, they really don't want Jumbo making the junction.

In the end it was more a Lastras. Or maybe a Garzelli, though the circumstances of that one were a bit different.And Femke Markus won the Leiedal Koerse E3 Harelbeke thingy, but Nicole Steigenga wasn't far away from doing a Stannard.
