That earlier chase probably didn't help Van Vleuten, but it's still a surprise to see her struggle like this.

Commentators thinking she spent too much energy with her nature break - more likely she's sick I think.
Thought the same honestly. She didn't take any pulls on the flat after the climb that split the group despite having GC competitors behind. Although one shouldn't overly go by facial expressions, she didn't look good at all.

Still, SD Worx might rue this chance not pacing after the final climb. Could've easily gotten 30 seconds on her, Niewiadoma was happy to contribute and ELB would have as well I think.
