Lizzie Armitstead showing she is one of the best in the World, if not THE best! Sad to see her crash shortly after this was taken and wish her a speedy recovery.

The day began with teams presented to the public again after a signing on ceremony on the podium. Featured here is Lizzie Armitstead’s team, Boels Dolmans Cycling Team.

The teams then lined up with the dozen or so national champions near the front including Britain’s Laura Trott of Matric Fitness, talking to Dani King here of Wiggle Honda.

It was a cruisey start with little action that I saw on the motorbike and no one team taking control as they raced through the lanes and the heat.

Around halfway, the race started to get lively and the way they through Ipswich was nothing short of flat stick.

Before Ipswich, Bilga tried to set the Queen of the Mountains sprint up for Sharon Laws but a lot of teams wanted to get in on the action ….

Liv Plantur then got in on the action at the front up the long but so steep drag.

But the Aussie Melissa Hoskins of Orcia GreenEdge won the sprint for the mountain points.

Then a break went clear led by United Healthcare …

The four were flat stick but ahead of two chasers and a disinterested peloton.

Katie Archibald of Pearl Izumi/Sports Tours leads the chase with another United Healthcare rider, Katie Hall I think, in tow but working to catch the leading four.

And at the second QoM, Katie Hall took the points.

But despite a level crossing incident, the race came back together for the biggest of bunch kicks which Lizzie Armitstead was bloody awesome in, winning, crashing but we hear, nothing broken. A tough cookie is Lizzie from Yorkshire!

With Lizzie being air lifted to hospital, her teammates, in tears, were presented with the trophy which they placed on the podium.

A battered and brusied Katie Archibald who crashed as well, gets  the combativity award.

Katie Hall is in the Queen of the Mountains jersey which is being keenly contested!
