TIMED TO PERFECTION! 🚀 | Women's 2026 Grand Prix de Wallonie Final KM's

Movistar on the back foot at the moment trying to move their way forward. Where's Liana Lippert in her bid to try and win the Grand Prix de Wallonie Dam. Number of riders distanced due to the pace being set by the French World Tour squad. Amber Crack on the front. The Dutch rider just takes a look over her left hand shoulder, assesses the damage. What has happened? Looking one year ago became the under 23 road race world champion. And what a season she's had in the elites this year. You can see the gap starting to open up here Danny as things are starting to fragment through the archway, through the pinch point as the bollards on the right hand side as FDJ United Suez keep things strung out. It's been a reasonable pace, but it's not been as hard as we've seen in previous editions of this race. So for the team of FDJ United Suez just taking control here, but not setting a particularly electric pace. We still have most of the main contenders for the race all sat there in the wheel at the moment. This is where they do the little loop where they'll round their way into the citadel, moving themselves forward right on time. There's Liana Lippert sitting fourth wheel right on the wheel of Geri. Also there for UA team Limad is Caroline Swinkles, former winner of this race two years ago. Can she double up and become the first rider to win this race on two occasions? Over the bridge, over the cobbles, still FDJ United Suez with the control. Geri perfectly poised. She is, but when you look a few riders back there, you can see Elisa Balsamo of the Little Trek team. She looks very calm and collected. We saw her really suffering on this climb last year, but she looks, I don't want to say easy, but she looks really comfortable at the moment. Her team have done a lot of work already here in the Lotto Grand Prix de Wallonie controlling the breakaway and Balsamo is looking to try and finish things off. It's starting to whittle down now, as you can see Hawksett trying to stay here. Borghese there for AG Insurance Soudal development team, as is Millie Cousins, the former British road race champion sitting in seventh place currently. Berto there for Cofidis looking to try and add her name to the role of honour here in the GP de Wallonie. Dixon now in the front, keeping the pace high. Who has got what it takes? Who's got the legs to try and finish off here into the Citadel in Namur? It's leg sapping. It puts you into a real oxygen deficit. Swinkles takes a look behind her. Who's going to make the first move? Also still there is Gasparini having been across all of the different moves. Also there is Osterlauser of La Brocuccia Fondation Euskadi. Bessaut is a little bit out of the frame of things, off the cobbles and onto the tarmac, into the little pinch point as they go over the bridge before they'll make that left hand turn over the other side. Lepe looking really comfortable through the flamme rouge, 1,000 meters to go and it's FTJ United Suez who have got complete control here. Look at this from Hawkeshead as she starts to move her way up. Don't forget stage winner in the Tour de France Femme, Avec Zwift and wearer of the yellow jersey at the beginning of August. Looking to try and move herself forward. What can she try and do as Balsamos moves onto the wheel of Gasparini of Osterlauser. Following the former world champion Berto identifies Balsamo as the key riders to try and follow. She's really good at timing things to perfection here. It's around 400 meters to go now. How far can Lauren Dixon take this? She's got Celia Giroud on the wheel as an attack on the outside by Gasparini. Gasparini goes on the left hand side of the road, the right hand side of the screen as you look at it, 300 meters to go. Balsamo has lashed herself onto the wheel of Gasparini. Cherie, she's been set up perfectly by her teammates. What can the French champion do? Here goes Swinkles. Swinkles taking the longer line round the left hand side here, round the side of Elisa Balsamo. Cherie, can she respond? Also moving forward, look at this, Liana Livid looking to try and get herself onto the podium but Caroline Swinkles is going to take it for U18 Limad. She doubles up after that victory from two years ago.
