Great going!
A great pity the BBC coverage missed this one, should be red faces there.
Bloody brilliant!
The Amstel Gold Race an Ardennes Classic? They must have recently moved the Dutch province of Limburg into Belgium then?
Not geographically in the Ardennes, admittedly, but it's certainly considered one of the three 'Ardennes' classics these days.
Fantastic. Good to see this getting some deserved prominence.

Women's cycle sport, in this country and in general, is struggling for sponsors and airtime so this is fantastic news. Well done GB junior girls!
Fantastic news that just shows that last year was no fluke.
And remember that, as reigning World Champion, she would have been heavily marked.
Our Leicestershire Road Club clubruns will just get even harder when she comes out with us.
I'm truly delighted for her,
Get in!
I always think the rainbow jersey is THE most coveted prize, what a great result.
Magic !
Brilliant riding by Elinor and Lucy. The future's bright...
Awesome.
