Calling it now: Longo Borghini to beat Vos.

Longo Borghini certainly looks strong, but I still think Vos will take it. Nobody will be able to follow her on Cauberg.
I'm cheering for Longo Borghini though.
My prediction:
1. Vos
2. Longo Borghini
3. Neylan

Not often the winner has time to grab a flag from the crowd, and then wave it aloft across the line!

There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Incredible Vos, this had to be the year where she couldn't finish second!
Is Elisa Longo Borghini related to Paolo? |

Ok, thanks, she seems to have great talent with just the age of 20.  |

Well Vos had luck that she had a great teammate, Van den Breggen to make the gap wider, and that they peleton didnt chase them |

Women's racing? Get a job, guys (Wait, it's weekend? Never mind)
U23 wasn't all that entertaining. Some attacks here and there, but never anything that looked really serious. Horrible cooperation in the few groups that were established.
Hopefully, with 100 km more of racing tomorrow, it'll be more exciting. |

Looks like GB are riding for Cummings or JTL according to this BBC article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/...g/19689003
Also mentions that Froome will ride the first 200km and then pull out. |
