finally caught up with the last stage of the #girodonne. annemiek! retiring is the only way anyone can stop her #cycling

Chiara Consonni wrapping up this years Giro but taking a cracking sprint victory, she took that up early & had the power to hold everyone else off. Good way to sign off for her teammate Marta Bastianelli on her final race.

Crashes taking out a few riders made it a lot easier for AVV to take another Giro title, but it looks like it's setting up a real battle between her & Vollering at the Tour!

12.5km to the #FRATL deadline please #CouchPeloton (sorry, domestic duties after the #GiroDonne - congrats AvV and Chiara Consonni for the stage win)

Blanka Vas really struggled during the cross season but in the last month or so she has definitely found her road legs. Stage win at the Tour de Suisse and now the Giro, as well as putting in some very strong performances as a domestique.

Draggy uphill finish for the women today, not dissimilar to the TDF sprint today. Vos went very early + had a mechanical? while Dygert likes taking all the wind so Vas took advantage of that

Weiterhin nichts, es ist wohl "nur" eine Erkältung. Da wir die ganze Woche immer wieder getestet haben, sind wir uns da auch sehr sicher. Aber platt bin ich trotzdem. Auf dem Sofa liegend kann ich immerhin auf zwei unserer Räder gucken und warten, bis der #GiroDonne übertragen wird.

AVV back to doing the traditional AVV thing of winning everything, but before her attack on the final climb pretty much everyone in the GC top 10 was having a go which made for great racing.

Labous looked very good today for DSM and looks to have at least secured a podium finish.

Realini in 3rd seems like a good result, but I think if she is going to the Tour she actually looks like she could have done with a break.

...and AvV wins yet another stage at the #GiroDonne #CouchPeloton

Field reduced after the abandons of the likes of Antonia Niedermaier after her stage win, Elisa Longo Borghini, Lorena Wiebes, but still...

AVV putting in a very dominant performance today that must worry some of her rivals for the Tour, has she rediscovered her form that seems to be a bit missing in the spring?

Also, can we talk about Wiebes finishing second and outsprinting Lippert on a short steep climb that wouldn't have been out of place in the Ardennes?!?

Still in the middle of catching up with today's stage, but we could really have done without the tv cameras lingering on yesterday's stage winner Antonia Niedermaier after her crash :( Just hoping it was a facial injury that looked a lot worse than it actually was.

Also hope Urška Zigart makes a quick recovery as well after suffering a concussion from the same crash.

It did happen. Annemiek van Vleuten with her 101st pro win at the #GiroDonne #CouchPeloton
Sadly yesterday's winner Antonia Niedermaier crashed out, and Elisa Longo Borghini DNS today after her crash late yesterday.

Okay, taking a break from Le Tour to watch some #GiroDonne #CouchPeloton #MiekItHappen

if you haven’t watched today / yesterday’s #girodonne stage, go do it! #cycling #biketooter

No big mountain finishes in the Giro Donne this year, but the riders are making the most of the climbs to create some exciting racing! Definitely a lot more interesting that today's TDF stage.

Niedermaier taking her 1st WT win in very impressive style, and Canyon have apparently discovered how to win races at last! :o

Unfortunately, Longo Borghini had a very nasty crash on the final descent, thankfully no serious injuries.
