    Thanks for joining us it’s the 21st edition of the Ronda van vandra and you join us on the cooperberg climb cloy diger unfortunately just gets bumped and you can see Riders as soon as that happens the traction goes and this is what we had last year Dam wering on the

    Right you can see off and running on the climb 163 km today the 21st edition of the tour of Flanders for women the Ronda van and it is po petersa on the front for fenx toer Mariana Vos is there Lorena Vias latia patosa Sylvia perso Elisa Sal longa borghini Carline

    Swinkles cashier nuia Doma and then the World Champ the two-time win a lot of keki you can see having to run up the cinberg here Dam voling had to do the same this is what we saw in last year’s race wasn’t it but it was only two

    Riders that were able to ride up the entire of the climb this year a few more Riders more of the major teams represented at the front here but this climb it does it year after year in the wet conditions doesn’t it it is absolutely brutal this climb dami wering and LTE Capia together

    But what a group that we have going over the top of the copen BG with 44 km to go as we go back down through the bunch Khloe diger back on the bike trying to get that traction uh vikto Berto in that French national champions Jersey and

    This when it happens you just cannot get going again no it’s absolute Carnage you know when you stop pedaling and you have to put your foot on the ground to get going again especially on that steep section of the climb it is almost impossible and when Riders take their

    Foot out in front of you then you are absolutely doomed if you’ve got nowhere to go and it kind of had that Ricochet effect didn’t it that um Khloe D get just got bumped came off into the side and then that had that sort of Ricochet

    Effect all the way back down through the pelaton yeah it was Kim lot of the AG insurance that was the first Rider to uh kind of come on stuck and unfortunately when one or two Riders stop in front it’s really difficult to change a line and obviously the road is so narrow that

    It’s just well Carnage isn’t it that we saw the same as last year that the road becomes completely blocked and there’s nowhere to go your Breakaway group Marin AOS on the front P Peterson latia Patos there Elisa longa borghini cashi nuvia Sylvia Pico Lorena VIIs and Carline swinkles is now

    The advanced group at the front so one representative in here for Leal Tre for SD Works Lorena weas said it herself that if Mariana Voss was in the break she knew that she had to be there too yeah really really impressive ride in here from Lena vas to get over that

    Climb in this fr group but she won’t be doing any work here of course with her teammates Demi voling and laki our world champion fighting to get back to this front group looks like Demi wering is doing all the work here so it looks like it is

    1. What I don't understand is why were all women who were not hindered by Chloé Dygert (besides Kopecky) able to ride the Koppenberg, but in the men's race only MvdP, Jorgenson and Pedersen were able to ride it?

    2. In the time of Fausto Coppi and Eddy Merckx I understand it, but in this time with all the wide tires and gears available, that is a rider mistake not choosing the right equipment for this race and conditins.
