Lizzie Armitstead looks like a strong contender.

Anyone know if there's any TV coverage?

She's got a chance if Vos is still out for a bit. Emma Johansson is looking very good right now too.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Victory to Lizzie Armitstead, who bridged to the breakaway on the last lap, then out-sprinted Anna van der Breggen. Shelley Olds was third.

My limited knowledge of women's cycling served me well in the pro predictions

 

[smutchin]

Chapeau Lizzie!

I missed the race as didn't have computer access. Pah!

 

[Crackle]

Lizzie is on fire at the moment.

Brilliant performance. She didn't just outsprint that young Dutch rider, she taught her a tactical lesson.

Is that a vacuum cleaner prize on the podium?

He he, good spot! Let's hope it's so Lizzie can hoover up more points.

i miss Judith Arndt in the peloton. I reckon Jo Rowsell could do well if she did more road racing, she has the Arndt about her.
