Van Vleuten with the next short attack, and right after that Vos is the next one. It's on

Next up is Van der Breggen.

The riders in the lead group are having a surprisingly good chance to actually make it.

Van Vleuten with the first serious attack, in the ugliest style ever. Perfect Froome-imitation though.

Still 6 minutes gap. And the course is not so hill as men's race. It's challenge for sole rider.

I still think Van Vleuten is the one rider who could feasibly do this in a solo. The gaps are quite big in women's cycling between the top and the riders who are sort of below the 'sub top' (like the three in the lead). They could make it, which would be pretty cool, but I doubt it.

Camera guy telling Van Vleuten how far behind her the peloton is, she is more interested to the gap ahead: five minutes.

 

That seems like rather unfair helping.

Peloton give up (or could reach the agreement).

So Van Vleuten for gold, the breakaway gets another two medals?

And there is the lead group exploding.

I wouldn't count on the GPS too much  

 

Wouldn't be surprising if it's off by a minute or more.
