andydude Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Folks, before we jump ahead to the mens road race tomorrow, don't forget we've still got the elite ladies today and there are 3 Saffas we need to support: Ashleigh Moolman PasioAn-Li KachelhofferHeidi Dalton With Marianne Vos looking a little out of sorts, it's a very open race this year.Agreed! Wishing them all the best. Go ladies! PS. Write off Vos at your own peril.

tombeej Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Ok we're live on channel 208 The whole front row on the start line is just a wall of orange jerseys. The dutch very much the powerhouse of womens cycling. So many options, so much firepower. They'll be calling the shots today. It will be interesting to see the tactics used by the other countries to try and counter....
andydude Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 It’s the 9th start of Marianne Vos in a World Championship. She was 3 times World Champion and 5 times 2nd
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 The riders are gathered on the start line under a warn Spanish sun.
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 And they're off! The flag drops, with the Netherlands team of defending champion Marianne Vos on the front. Thanks to defending the title, the Netherlands has nine riders in the race.
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 As the riders tackle the first climb of the circuit, the peloton is all together. However the speed is high.
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 On the wide road, riders are moving up on the outsides of the peloton.
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 The riders make it safely through the downhill corner where riders have crashed so frequently and begin the shorter but steeper climb.
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 At the summit, the riders are all together and nobody tried an attack. The racing will surely explode later on.
'Dale Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 The descent has lead to some minor splits in the peloton and lined out the riders but there is no real attack or breakaway.
tombeej Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I'm looking for Ashleigh in the front group. Anyone seen her after that bad crash?
tombeej Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Ok Ashleigh (88) is safely in the front bunch, and An-Li (87) too.
