Oh no!! She looked really strong throughout, but then could not stay with Vos when it counted. I was so hoping for a medal for her.

 

She said on her twitter that she picked up a bug and battled to keep liquids down

I thought she did particularly well to stay hidden in the bunch for so long but as mentioned without a team mate to chase down attacks she would not have stood much of a chance once the Italians put the foot down and Vos and team mate went for it.Great effort though.Really proud

 

22nd at worlds is not too shabby

 

I fear we will be outgunned in the mens today.They will have to lurk in the bunch as well.A break might do it tho

Cav looks like chubby pug on his undersized venga, wonder if he is enjoying the experience of riding in front doing the pulling...LOL sorry had to have a dig at the ou.

Italy continue to force the pace on the front of the peloton, which is strung out in a long line. Meanwhile, word reaches us that Chris Horner (USA) and Daryl Impey (South Africa) were involved in a crash.

Meanwhile, Nicolas Roche is already three minutes down on the peloton, and Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish are seven minutes down. Their afternoons surely won't last much longer.

    Froome has abandoned the world championships. After controlling the race for the first 100 kilometres, Britain has no rider in the main peloton of 75 riders with almost 100 kilometres of the Worlds still to go.
