00:00One kilometre to go.
00:08Steffi Herberlin, number 33, just taking a look around.
00:12The world champion is locked on a wheel.
00:14She's just biding her time at the moment.
00:16Also there is Aline Janssen, the young Dutch rider,
00:20and it's Juliette Leboos, the French champion,
00:22who is setting the pace and protecting Damie Vollering,
00:25who looks so composed and so focused.
00:28You take a look now, the world champion Lotta Kopecki
00:31just starts to lose a few bike lengths.
00:33Marianne Bunel is at the back of this group, number 51.
00:36She's got a lot of work to do, and so has Monica Trinko-Colonel
00:39in this purple jersey, number 136.
00:44Also there is Aline Janssen of the Volker Wessels team.
00:49She's in very, very good company.
00:52So Damie Vollering, second wheel, on her wheel,
00:55Cascianiwe Odoma, behind her are Lisa Longoburghini,
00:59Huck Pizza, Gaia Riolini, Liana Lippert.
01:02This is the front of the race now as things start to stretch.
01:06Magdalene Valerius-Mille is going backwards.
01:09Juliette Leboos sets the tempo now for Damie Vollering
01:14into the most important part of the Mure de Ouille.
01:17Who's going to take this victory?
01:20It looks like the world champion is going backwards.
01:23So is Kim Laporte.
01:25It's patience, biding your time.
01:28It really is a virtue.
01:30When you've got someone like Juliette Leboos who can help you
01:33and fully commit here, Damie Vollering is in prime position,
01:37and right now they're creeping and edging closer and closer.
01:41They're just riding to their own temper.
01:43They're going to get to this section here on the Virage Claude Curricleon
01:46where it's going to reach gradients of 26%,
01:49and they take the outside line.
01:51That's exactly where you want to be,
01:52and you can see Punk Peterser uses the far outside line,
01:55and that is the ideal place to be right now.
01:58Look at how much she's able to make up there.
02:00Half a bike length,
02:01and that's put her right onto the wheel of Damie Vollering.
02:04Right on the wheel behind is Cassia Nuviodoma,
02:07and waiting is Liana Lippert.
02:09Watch out there for Nienkia Vinka, number 46,
02:12and Niamh Fischer-Black.
02:16Coming up on the outside is Niamh Fischer-Black,
02:19but Elisa Longoborghini is just waiting and waiting.
02:24Hugpieter almost hits the wheel of Damie Vollering.
02:29Vollering still leads.
02:31She still sets the tempo.
02:33Who is going to explode out of this pack?
02:35Niviodoma looks like she's under a little bit of pressure now.
02:38Vollering still continues with this relentless pace
02:42towards the top of the climb,
02:44but she hasn't accelerated yet.
02:46The punch of Puk Pizza waits as she waits to launch
02:50this big sprint for the line.
02:52They're almost there, and no one has attacked yet.
02:55Vollering has just ridden the tempo.
02:57Niviodoma is getting distanced a little bit.
03:00She's starting to struggle as Vollering now ups the tempo
03:04on this 14% gradient.
03:06Puk Pizza still matches her.
03:08Looks like Longoborghini is going backwards.
03:11Here she goes.
03:12And here goes Puk Pizza.
03:14Big acceleration as she goes for the line now.
03:17It's going to be a race between two riders.
03:19Vollering and Puk Pizza.
03:21Vollering refuses to give in inside the final 100 metres.
03:25Puk Pizza accelerates away now for Phoenix de Koenig.
03:29She's going to beat Demi Vollering to the line.
03:32What a move by Puk Pizza.
03:34It's a win by Puk Pizza.
03:35It's a win for Phoenix de Koenig.
03:37Puk Pizza wins Fleche Wallonne.
03:39Shalom.
03:40Shalom.
03:41Shalom.
03:42Shalom.
03:43Shalom.
