Ok Ashleigh (88) is safely in the front bunch, and An-Li (87) too.

Phew!

Do any of the SA girls stand a chance

Small small unlikely chance

Team size is quite key

Bronzini is back in the peloton but the crash could have affected her chances of success.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Reports say the Canadian rider carried to an ambulance was Karol-Ann Canuel.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Marianne Vos was also delayed by the crash and several teammates are helping her chase back up to the peloton. She is approximately 50 seconds back.

[Eugene Oppelt]

At least three Belgian riders were involved in the crash. Others are also injured.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Two riders seemed to touch wheels near the front of the peloton and then other riders hit them and others went off the road sparking other crashes.

[Eugene Oppelt]

The German and Great Britain teams are riding at the front of the peloton, which includes just 50 or so riders now.

[Eugene Oppelt]

The peloton seems to have eased up, to allow the riders delayed to get back to the peloton.

[Eugene Oppelt]

 

Other riders are still off the back or have retired.
