5. Except the women don't follow the same course

The way these things are laid out, they share some sections of road, but not the entire course.

The women's course is shorter than the men's course. This was on the initial section, before they split up due to different numbers of circuits on subsections of the overall course.

Aside from which, I don't care who is racing - a solo break from the line in a 200km race is not going to win the race. Period.

What happened in the Junior's race was a lot worse though.
