Checking the Damage Rio18
Today was the women's turn to take on the Olympic Road Racing Course, although they will be riding roughly 85 miles rather than the 150 miles yesterday by the men. The course is the same just a few less laps on the two circuits. Emma Pooley (GB) hit the front on the first climb of the day. On her wheel is the Dutch woman Ellen Van Dijk. Other teams represented are Italy, Germany, Poland and South Africa.
