🌍These women, proving as always, that they deserve all the coverage in the world!

[@fabianschaberl1795]

Liking the racing:)

[@reinholdachleitner2069]

So happy for the win for Liane Lippert.💯👌🏻💪🏻

[@fabianschaberl1795]

Yes, she's cool

[@fredbr95]

There were several nasty crashes in the last kms because of the rain, hope all the riders are ok, especially Van Agt, who crashed in the descent and slipped underneath the guardrail

[@JaemanEdwards]

Bout time. Lianne Lippert lived up to her potential and finally won a race. She was the strongest rider at the worlds last year, and I'm sure there will be more victories to come for the german machine. I can't believe she dusted Kopecky in that sprint. Impressive. Movistar and SD Worx are well placed with their two top riders in the top 10. Van Vleuten and Lippert vs Vollering and Kopecky is gonna be 🔥 They all look like they are firing. Marlen Ruesser may be the key, but when has being outnumbered worried Annemiek. She'll take them all on. Bit of a worry when her and Annemiek crashed. The GOAT needs to remain on her bike at all times if she's gonna win this. Could Lotte Kopecky challenge for the final podium ? One minute is a decent lead for only two races. I wonder if she's been working on her long climbing game.

[@andrasszabo1570]

No way is 1 minute enough for Kopecky with the Aspin-Tourmalet combo on Saturday and the time trial on Sunday. Even 5 minutes would be borderline. It's still van Vleuten v Vollering for the GC. These first couple of stages haven't changed anything.

[@JaemanEdwards]

@@andrasszabo1570 I figure as much but could she possibly still make the podium ?

[@andrasszabo1570]

@@JaemanEdwards I"d be absolutely amazed. That would be like Mathieu van der Poel making the podium of the Tour de France. Doesn't matter whether she leads by 50 seconds or 1 minute, it doesn't make her a different level climber than what she has shown so far in her career.

[@JaemanEdwards]

@@andrasszabo1570 I remember seeing Annemiek Van Vleuten for the first time at the Rio Olympics. The commentators were talking up Van der breggen and others but barely mentioned Annemiek, let alone think she was one of the favourites. The reason ? Annemiek had not previously shown she was a pure climber. She rebuilt herself into a climber. Who's to say whether Kopecky could do something similar ? She is no slouch in the shorter climbs. If she could limit the damage in the long climbs and maybe another breakaway win with a decent margin who knows.

[@MohamedSinclair]

Serious question; how do the women take comfort breaks?

[@apagunaberlari2929]

Terbaik lah annemiek van vleuten, jangan pancing sangat tinggal 6 stage jher

[@shatillashamsuddin5466]

Hebat👍

[@fabianschaberl1795]

Jumbo Visma needs to step up more

[@manitoublack]

how is 'Silicone Valley Bank' sponsoring anything?

[@mikebeattie976]

Not being shown in the uk apart from Eurosport with its dreadful commentators

[@BikePappy]

A first?🤓

[@Andrewarebikes]

Not a whole lot going on ehh :/

[@whiteknob7944]

It’s like a little kids ride. Cute.

[@shammahemmiemensah9595]

😂😂😂😂 The attacks are the more funny parts 😅

[@josselinepinto298]

You couldn’t follow the wheel of any of them. I dare you.

[@andrasszabo1570]

In which country are these little kids who could average 36 km/h for 4 hours on hilly terrain?

[@shammahemmiemensah9595]

The adjective used is "LIKE LITTLE KIDS" That's not a definite statement

[@PartisanGamerDE]

@@shammahemmiemensah9595 its definite sexism. belittling women sports, comparing them to kids. On top, none of you could even come close to the athleticism on display here. You are all such pathetic people.
