Medals decided with 15km to go. And yet there were complains about how women's course in Tokyo should be harder...

15? This was decided the moment Spratt had to let go of Van der Breggen's wheel on that climb with like 30+km to go  

 

But yeah, this makes very clear that women's cycling still has a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go.

Yes, but after Guderzo's attack at 15km to go all medals including specific colors were decided.

Ah yeah. But no, "every women's race needs to be live on major channels because it's so exciting!".

Gap is at 3:03. Come on, only 22 more seconds please.

Danish website Feltet is very much known for having kinda ridiculous previews for races in which they name half the peloton as favourites, just so they can barely be wrong, but for tomorrow they've really done it again

Including Konrad or Schachmann or Hermans or Carthy or Reichenbach or Kreuziger or Haig or Wellens, but not including the main favourite like Sagan, hilarious indeed

[dcro 10,210]

And we go above 3:24.

 

Possibly biggest winning margin ever.
