Tour de France Femmes (avec Zwift) (et avec spoilers)

[Peter Salt]

Haven't seen anything from Longo Borghini on her navigational error. That was odd, wasn't it?

Obviously had a Garmin not a Wahoo

 

[Mike_P]

Seen a suggestion that she followed a motorbike, obviously some distance ahead of that was the case.

Other way round in my experience.

GPS FIGHT!!

Lumpy bumpy classicsy day today. Is it lumpy enough for AVV to go on the attack? Is she actually in any condition to go on the attack?

She doesn't mention it: "The main thing, it's that I didn't cause a crash, or injure any riders. This sort of thing can be dangerous. Sorry to the peloton. I don't know what happened. You can only laugh at me."

"It was my mistake. I knew the finish and I knew that I should go straight on but suddenly, I thought I had to turn left. I even panicked a little because I wasn't expecting this corner. [...] Sorry to everyone. I hope I gave you a good laugh."

I honestly don't know any more. Did she still have the shoots yesterday? What is 80 seconds ahead of two mountain stages? Nothing!

I don't know either, but people on Twitter, some of whom ought to know, describe her as "recovering" implying that her getting dropped on the sharper climbs earlier and scrambling back on was due to illness.

Finally a proper-sized breakaway and gap growing. May get interesting, especially if half the peloton decides to save itself for the weekend.

 

[Peter Salt]

Really gutted for Wiebes, could have been a hat-trick

Va va Vos!

 

[youngoldbloke]

Have a free GCN+ pass, watching the race but finding the annoying over excited commentary really spoiling it for me.

Watched most of it so far and from what I've seen Vos is always in front/clear of the crashes.
A bit of luck or experience but I'd go with the latter.
