yeah the gap is hovering around that 20 second mark and remember they attacked on Lang Burns Bank which was uh that steep climb at 35 km from the line kim Lor alongside well first Kim Lor Kristen Forner and Anna Henderson she was almost there wasn’t she but she couldn’t just bridge that final few hundred meters at the final tens of meters even on that climb to Kim Laor 4 km to go we have a nice tailwind towards the finish line for these two riders and tailwind is always always beneficial to the attackers on the Fine i rate the chances of Kim Lor a little bit higher than Kristen Forner to win that sprint but h let’s see what happens it’s been a really short stage just 81 12 km so not really super hard but in those 81 km we did have 1,000 m of elevation which um will rate up which will add up to the total it’s still FDG and Moi Star doing the work and Lorena Vivas yeah she sits the only thing that she can do at the moment is hope and wait that Suez and Movie Star are going to bring this uh this group back the two leaders back yeah it’s not really in her hands here is it she’s just going to be hoping that they do it but you can see her moving up she’s been sat right at the back of that group for the last 20 km or so but now you could just see her moving up getting herself ready this is that little bend to the left that we’ve got now the wind will be coming from the left hand side for these two riders all the way to the finish line so it’s pretty much panned straight all the way now into the line but these riders cannot afford to play cat and mouse they’ve got to keep the pace up because we’ve got this group behind and it’s become an exciting final i didn’t think it was going to split up this much no but it has and that was down to that aggressive riding from uh Kim Laor especially over that final Queen of the Mountains climb there will be instructions coming from the team car from Danny from Danny Christmas to Kim Laour kristen Forner is uh being coached by uh Daniel Sock two kilometers left to go there’s rain on the horizon but I think we’ll just cross the finish line uh on dry roads look at that rain waiting there in the distance let’s hope that we’re just going to make it less than 2 km to go yeah this group is is trying everything at the moment to uh to catch our two leaders but they are two exceptional riders we got the Olympic champion we got the Leaz Bastonia Leaz champion Juralia stage winner last year Kim Laour Lizzie Dyman is there this a good step towards the GC for Lizzy as well yeah also Anna Henderson as well and Anna Henderson of course yes but the stage win is um yep it’s it’s riding away from them and it’s riding away from Lorena Bibas as well who yeah quite strangely enough is lacking teammates the SD works protime team and there we go we are approaching the final kilometers sweaty palms at the moment for these two riders although they do come across both of them as very composed riders I’ve interviewed both of them in the past and they’re very composed they’re very intelligent riders both of them very intelligent women even Harvard scholars and what have you final kilometers coming up now with Kristen Fork and the American champion and Kim Lord they are going to make it Danny but now it’s going to be a gripping sprint towards the line and who is going to win the stage and take that first green Lloyd’s tour of Britain women leaders jersey yeah that is a big question but these two riders have ridden this race absolutely perfectly using that climb to their advantage where they split the Pelaton to pieces and now it is all about who is going to time this sprint to perfection who’s got the legs who’s got that explosivity as Alli Wallist is really hoping her teammates has still got the strength to be able to close down the gap kristen Faulner though is the rider that’s leading this one out kim Lort just getting into the drops of her handlebars ready to launch her sprint let’s get back to the front because that is where it is happening at the moment we’re in the final 300 m of this race kim Laor Kristen Forner on their way to the finish here in Ratar for the first stage win and the first leaders jersey kim Laour or Kristen Forner it’s going to be a very tight sprint can Kristen Forner still do anything about it can she can she or is the line oh the line is there and it is Kim Laour who wins the stage and takes the first leaders jersey with Lena Bibas in third place just 5 seconds down on our two leaders what an exciting stage this was kim Laour she herself took the initiative on the Langbirds Bank and she finished it off with a win here in Red Car
