Ethiopia on the deck within first 200 m of the race.

And that wasn't the first crash of the race. Or well, actually it was, since the first crash with 5-10 riders involved happened before the official start

Well Iceland's representative nearly managed to hold on for 5km. Who knows, maybe next year.

already struggling.

 

I’m guessing a prehistoric theme park for the otherwise mystifying elephant & rhino.  
 

have some decent riders, surely.  Off the back here.

To be fair, this climb is definitely a bit of a bitch.

Lithuania appears gassed to.

But to be fair as well, the pace up front is pretty much at stand-still this early on.

Oh absolutely

 

Just saying it's only slightly less terrible to have to drop while nearly dying already now, it's at least not a casual pace on the flat

Got back on after the climb, so not completely hopeless.

What, Giro Rosa isn't a World Tour race anymore next year

 

Didn't expect that, although it's not really undeserved to be demoted: organization is famously chaotic, the race is famously unsafe and the roads are famously terrible, it's not World Tour worthy at all. I hope it will step up and become an actual professional race, like for example La Course, the Boels Ladies Tour, a race I forgot in Spain and so on.

Abandon Es-Saddy. I do not remember her. Did she disappear before ?
