-11.5km

Reusser units off by myself in pursuit of Deignan and Schweinberger. Kopecky does not wish to get stuck at the back of and now she bridges throughout to Reusser…

Deignan senses her likelihood excessive, and he or she ghosts off the entrance with Christina Schweinberger (Austria) on her wheel. This duo opens a small lead over the remainder.

However the chase is dropping its momentum over again as they manner the end line for the bell, and Deignan, Reusser, Schweinberger and Van Vleuten get again on.

Kopercky comes thru and provides Vollering a flip excessive. Uttrup Ludwig scrambles to apply them.

Vollering units the speed on the entrance of the gang, even though she gives the look that she expects a bit of extra from Van Vleuten at this juncture. Kopecky then comes thru to the entrance prior to gesticulating in frustration on the loss of collaboration within the chasing team.

-27km

And as soon as once more, the momentum ebbs from the chasing team, the place it isn’t fully transparent that Van Vleuten and Vollering are at the identical web page. Chabbey’s lead has stretched out once more to 23 seconds.

The momentum stalls once more excessive of the climb, however Chabbey’s lead has been unexpectedly slashed to twenty-five seconds by way of the ones accelerations.

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and Marlen Reusser bridge up prior to the climb of Scott Boulevard. Reusser, in spite of the presence of Chabbey up the street, assaults at the climb, prior to Kopecky comes previous excessive of the ascent. Vollering, as ever, is glued to Kopecky’s wheel. 

Kopecky flicks an elbow and in the end Vollering offers her a flip, however they have not controlled to break out from the chasing team…

Kopecky and Vollering blow correct previous Van Vleuten and Persico. The large two glance to be going head-to-head right here…

Italy have 5 riders on this chasing team, whilst the Dutch have 4 – Vollering, Van Vleuten, Van Anrooij and Markus. 

-37km

There’s a contact extra concord to the pursuit now as Markus and Van Anrooij switch turns with Ghekiere, and they’ve controlled to pare Chabbey’s lead again to at least one:12.

Ghekiere has been doing the majority of the pace-making for Kopecky however now Italy and the Netherlands are starting to give a contribution to the chase. 

This may be, by way of far, the most important victory of the 30-year-old Chabbey’s profession.

Chabbey’s GPS transponder has come unfastened beneath her saddle, by the way, and that dangling will without a doubt be an annoyance. Certainly, the Swiss rider appears to be like to have misplaced the transponder altogether at the climb of Scott Boulevard. 

Chabbey continues to appear very clean certainly on the head of the race. The roads have dried significantly after some previous rain and, mercifully, there hasn’t been moderately the similar spate of crashes that we noticed on the under-23 males’s race the day past, however using out in entrance spares Chabbey the consistent accelerations of the chase team.

There’s something of a staccato rhythm to this chasing team in the interim. There’s an acceleration each time the street climbs however the momentum inevitably turns out to peter out over the opposite facet. 

In the meantime, the gaps are starting to yawn out on the head of the race. Chabbey is 50 seconds transparent of Cecchini, with the peloton of 25 or so riders at 1:18.

Henderson’s crash may also be a loss to Lizzie Deignan, who has seemed so sharp to this point this afternoon.

A lot to Kopecky’s frustration, no one turns out minded to paintings together with her and the transfer peters out. 

-75.5km

Lizzie Deignan (Nice Britain) senses the lull and speeds up with intent. Vas instantly follows. The pair cannot forge transparent however they’ve stretched out the race in all places once more and a few riders will without a doubt be shaken unfastened on the again by way of those accelerations.

Sanne Cant made the important thing effort to deliver that team again on Kopecky’s behalf.
