I missed the race itself so can't comment on it. Breakaway attacking win with a sprint way way behind them. Blaak doing the job for Boels, Elvin very impressive, Worrack probably dissapointed to be outsprinted in that lead group. Loooots of DNF's

I accidentally placed a bet on Chantal, and now she wins. Need to do that more often. I wonder... |

Kirchman took a very close group sprint to win. Majerus and Koster barely separable, as were the rest of the lead group. Vos finishes 10th on her return.

Fantastic race yet again from Trofeo Binda! Armitstead just keeping Guarnier behind for the win, with Neff super impressive also on the podium. Especially outdoing Johansson to do so! Boels-Dolmans continuing to establish themselves as the top team of 2016.
Armitstead has built a nice little lead in the rankings now, ahead of Van der Breggen and Johansson. https://www.uci.ch/road/ranking/

A stunningly powerful solo victory for Chantal Blaak, she was in a class of her own! Brennauer won the sprint for second from Brand. It it's not the World Champion it's someone else for Boels-Dolmans.

Boy what a race! A powerful group selected and ground their way off the front. Then a packed finale with lots of testing moves and chase backs. Coming up to the finish the power of Johansson and Armitstead was unmatched. The Rainbow Bands glaiming glory yet again!

Never actually watched any women's cycling live before although I have sort of followed it to the point where I know who the big names are, but it was a very exciting finale and has somewhat piqued my interest. Will the Giro Rosa be broadcast later this year? That's a race I would definitely like to watch.

It's part of the WWT so will either have a Live Broadcast or some proper daily highlights provided.

Boels beating Canyon and Orica in a TTT, didn't quite expect that one. Gives them a good chance to win yet another race though.

What i like to call the Womens San Sebastian  Guarnier shows why she is considered one of the top punchers in the peloton, just holding off Longo Borghini. Johannson continues a strong season with 3rd place leading the chase group home.

No live coverage of the race due to technical difficulties, which was a shame. Luckily there were pictures of the sprint itself. Wild just powered hard to hold of a fast finishing Garner and Mackaj and Barnes, another 50m and the result would have been very different.

They say sprinting is a lottery... Huan Ting Ying wins the opening stage of the Tour of Chongming Island! Kirchman and Hosking a close 2nd and 3rd. But a HUGE result for Huang, the Taiwan Team and Asian cycling in general.

WWT hits California. Unsurprisingly Megan Guarnier was the one to win the opening hilly stage. Johansson continues an impressive season in second, she's really improved as a climber. Kristin Armstrong 3rd, the 42 year old could be a real underdog Olympic winner come Rio!
Tayler Wiles (<3) finished 9th in Team USA colors as Orica didn't come along.
20km TTT today, a rolling/flat road stage on Saturday, a crit on Sunday. Barring a breakaway, the GC should be set after the TTT and it's Armstrong and Stevens with the advantage.

TTT, boy did that shock! The PCT equivalent Twenty16 stun Boels Dolmans! Actually just a really good day for the Americans all-round with UHC 3rd.
Also a massive shout-out to Team USA who only have three riders and still beat 6 teams. That was an incredible effort, you goddess Tayler!

Stage 3 had some potential difficulties but came to the expected sprint finish. Marianne Vos is well and truly back, just in time for the Olympics, as she outsprinter Rivera and Johansson for victory.
A few names getting caught out and losing a lot of time like Cromwell, Blaak, Brand and Wild.
With just a Crit tomorrow Guarnier has gotta be locked into the GC win ahead of Armstrong and Stevens. USA 1-2-3!
I'll try and get a results image tomorrow.
