Off on Her Own
Orica-Ais came to Paris to race! The first of their riders to launch an attack was Gracie Elvin. She used the sling shot effect of swinging around the l'Arc de Triomphe to get away from the peloton. The long down hill strait of the Champs Elysees helped her to build on the lead. As soon as Elvin was caught it was another Orica-Ais rider who went. They just kept repeating the strategy hoping that one time the peloton wouldn't be able to pull one of the riders in blue and bright green back.
