Wow. Marianne Vos lost 24 minutes to AVV. Did I miss a crash in the highlights or is she really not much of a climber?

Was a day that showed who the climbers were but even then the tenth rider was 10:10 behind and Vos was 49th in a group from 39th to 69th

Not so much of a climber these days although I'm sure I remember her winning mountain stages in the Giro Donne.

I think she just decided "job done, rest day today. Over to you Annemiek".

I think AVV will enjoy tomorrow if she has something left in the tank...

Caught up last night and what a stage!!! The other women looked exhausted at the end, saw pics of Elisa Longo Borghini being lifted off her bike! We have a rest day today so I get to watch the finale live!

AVV looked unbelievably fresh and can go hard today as well.

There will be a battle for the remaining podium places though. To me it looked like Vollering gave it all yesterday and the question is if she's able to recover. I'm hoping Niewiadoma left something in the tank and will grab that 2nd

Vos is human after all. Well done Annemiek van Vleuten, can she do the same again today.

Movistar looking like amateurs with that bike change... A bit of excitement ahead of the first climb bit I don't think it will affect the result

 

[Dogtrousers]

I went with "Quinty Schoens" on that very basis

​

Quinty Schoens featured in commentary! She was on the front of the group containing AVV ... but then the adverts came on.

I've found generally that the support crews don't look as slick as I'm used to seeing, but I haven't watched many women's races. Perhaps it's a money thing that will improve?

sadly not worth a point in velogames

Wohoho... All kicking off with 5k to go. Who will make it? Who will explode? No need to save yourself for tomorrow now!

She chewed up and spat out the breakaway very quickly didn't she?

Phew. I'm knackered.
