Ann-Sophie Duyck (Belgium) got out of the saddle and sprinted to the finish line. Her efforts may have made her feel like she had given all she had (and I believe she did) it still put her off of the podium in 8th place. Admirable given the size and talent of the field, but not what she was hoping for. It was great to see a bit of a crowd watching her at the finish line. I do remember here is Richmond that the crowds were no where near as big for the ITT events, but continued to grow as the Championships moved towards the final road races.
