That's unfair. Vos isn't unbeatable and her rivals are getting stronger.
I was wondering where she was.
That's an impressive front groupGreat win for Lizzie Armitstead at the Trofeo Alfredo Binda today, beating Ferrand-Prevot, Van Der Breggen, Longho Borgini and Amaliusik in a five-way sprint finish.
Second place, leading in the bunch behind Borghini - her teammate, hence I guess she wasn't helping too much in the chase.That's an impressive front group
By the way, Jolien D'hoore (who was the WC leader before the TAB) ended 4th in Gent-Wevelgem(which she prefered for obvious reasons: better suited to her and in Belgium).
She was looking mighty strong though, but had a bit of a "Cancellara" issue, that nobody really wanted to ride with her. With her improved form she could be an outsider for the RvV
In fact, they showed highlights of the Trofeo Alfredo Binda race won by LA. For some reason, over and over again. I counted at least 3 repeats of the coverage before deleting my recording.I have just noticed that there is a highlights programme of the women's RVV on the BBC red button channel at 18:00, available on iPlayer some time later.
No, she wasn't on the final team sheet in the end. She had still been listed in the few days prior to the race. Clearly it will be a while longer before we see her in action again...Vos wasn't listed as a starter.
A great move by Borghini to win in a solo break
The Flemish tv (Sporza) send out a summary of the race directly following the conclusion of the men's race (they have been doing this for 3 years now). Borghini was indeed very impressive, riding away on the Kruisberg (so before the Kwaremont/Paterberg combo) and holding out easily onto the finish-line.(Jolien D'hoore) Second place, leading in the bunch behind Borghini - her teammate, hence I guess she wasn't helping too much in the chase.
Sounds like a good race, shame about the total lack of live TV coverage - the ES commentators were blaming the local TV organisation for that.
