Although you can only see four women, there is a fifth on the front of the group. Anneke Dijkstra (VolkerWessels) has just swung off from doing her effort to maintain the three and a half minutes that she, along with Caralina Anais Soto Campos (Laboral Kutxa-Fundacion Euskadi), Alison Jackson (EF Education-Oatley), and Brodie Chapman (UAE Team ADQ) were defending. It is a strong group, two are their nation's champions and one is the former champion of her nation. I almost painted the peloton going through this same point but had decided the image wasn't strong enough before I realized I had almost done another repeat location.
