Race blown apart at last. Why on earth were GB burning Hannah Barnes for Lizzie?

Edit: she's back on. For now.

 

[jaylew]

Americans completely missed the move.

Thanks a lot. Now continued on BBC 2.

 

[Andy262]

Can't see the pure sprinters getting over the hill last time round.

Looks like only about 40 left in the peloton with one lap to go.

http://www.uci.ch/road/uciroadworldchampionships/bergen/livetimingbytissot/ Shows the the group is 51 strong (not including the 4 in front)

 

[Andy262]

Chase ffs!

 

[jaylew]

Aussie girl isn't getting to the front group. They need to chase. Who else has numbers in the group that would work? Norway?

 

[fauniera]

Niewiadoma is looking good. She always is where she needs to be.

 

[jaylew]

Dutch in a great position with 3 of 7. No surprise there.

Garfoot seems to have learnt the fine Australian art of wheelsucking

Yup I was thinking the exact same. So frustrating to watch.

 

[jaylew]

How did they let that go? You have to know a Dutch attack is coming.

 

[meat puppet]

Blaak has a decent gap if the GPS is anywhere near correct.

 

[Gigs_98]

What the f*ck is Garfoot doing?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Splendid race of Simon Garfoot.

 

[glassmoon]

Wtf Australia? Disqusting.
Go Blaak!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

dutch master class

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Should be an all oranje podium methinks.

 

[deValtos]

Is the aussie and Blaak in the same trade team or something?

Even Matthews and Gerrans would be insulted by this.

 

[jaylew]

Great tactical racing from the Dutch. Really bad from everyone else in the break.

 

[70kmph]

lol joke

 

[MrTea1976]

To be fair to Barnes, I'm not sure she could have done much more.
