Getting sick of Vollering looking around as soon she feels the sniff of wind on her face. You're the damn race favourite, act like one!
She's not particularly likable, imo. That said, she needs this win way more than AVV and she knows AVV will attack at some point so I figure she's just going to wait until then, sit on her wheel for a while and then attack.

Will Vollering be happy with this? Can’t imagine it. Van Vleuten playing chess.
Agreed. I think she's going to wait as long as she can for AVV to attack and if she doesn't, she'll go. No way she wants Kopecky to win the overall.

Stage profile the most useless thing you can stick on your handlebar.
Was interesting to see her watts, however. About 5.12 wpk if the 49 kilos listed is accurate. I don't really follow the numbers on women's racing, I assume that's pretty good for a climb of this length?

I think this has helped AVV some; she really seemed in the red on Aspin, nice chance to follow and gather herself a little bit?

Would be funny/impressive if Kopecky stayed within a minute today.
I’m thinking she won’t be far behind in the TT with her form.
