16.01 The golden roll of the Azzurri in these 2020 European Championships is enriched even more. After the two bronzes in the Juniores category of Lorenzo Milesi and Carlotta Cipressi, and the gold medals of Elisa Balsamo among the Under 23s, and Giacomo Nizzolo among the Elite men, Elisa Longo Borghini also arrives with her silver among the Elite women.
15.59 A perfect and exciting race conduct by Elisa Longo Borghini, who made life hard for van Vleuten in the decisive phase of the European test. His repeated attacks are beautiful. In the sprint he gave his all, not having a quick start as that of the Van Vleuten.
15.57 Top Ten for the blue Elena Cecchini, ninth at the finish.
15.56 A 2020 that is nothing short of perfect for the world champion Van Vleuten, in her sixth win of the season out of eight races so far.
15.54 Bronze for the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma.
15.53 However, the Verbanese Longo Borghini was marvelous, who could do nothing in the two-way sprint with the Van Vleuten, clearly superior to the blue.
15.50 ANNEMIEK VAN VLEUTEN TAKES EVERYTHING! The world champion also makes the European Championship her own in front of our Elisa Longo Borghini, a splendid silver medal!
15.49 LAST KILOMETER !!!
15.48 1800 meters to the finish. It will be a sprint for two!
15.47 LONGO BORGHINI GIVES ALONE WITH THE VAN VLEUTEN !!!
15.46 Raise our Longo Borghini uphill !!!! The Blaak comes off.
15.43 Niewiadoma and Blaak resume Longo Borghini and Van Vleuten. We are 4 km from the end.
15.41 Longo Borghini and Van Vleuten together in front of everyone.
15.40 In the meantime, Blaak managed to resume Niewiadoma.
15.39 LONGO BORGHINI ON THE TRAIL OF VAN VLEUTEN!
15.37 The Van Vleuten starts again! Longo Borghini tries to mend, while the Niewiadoma comes off.
15.35 We are 10 kilometers from the finish. Italy plays a medal.
15.34 Splendid action by the Verbanese who continues to relaunch the pace. Van Vleuten and Niewiadoma do not let themselves be frightened, while the Blaak comes off.
15.32 ATTACK BY ELISA LONGO BORGHINI !!!
15.31 49 ″ advantage for the attackers! Behind raise Demi Vollering and Marlen Reusser.
15.27 We are 16 km from the finish and the four outriders have a 1 ‘advantage over their pursuers. One lap is missing at the end of the European test.
15.24 Behind the Swiss Marlen Reusser raises.
15.22 A quartet is formed at the head of the race! So we have the two Dutch Annemiek Van Vleuten and Chantal Blaak, the blue Elisa Longo Borghini, and the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma.
15.20 Blaak ever closer to the treads.
15.16 Chantal Blaak moves!
15.13 The pursuers are very active. Especially the Swiss Marlen Reusser, the Danish Uttrup Ludwig, and the French Audrey Cordon Ragot.
15.08 We are two laps at the end of the test. The Longo Borghini attack with Van Vleuten and Niewiadoma continues. 24 ″ of advantage for this trio.
15.05 The Danish Cecile Uttrup Ludwig relaunches.
14.59 The between have made a void! We are 32 km from the finish.
14.54 Relaunch our Elisa Longo Borghini! With her the world champion Van Vleuten and the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma.
14.51 Fall at the head of the group! Involved the British Lizzie Deignan.
14.48 40 kilometers to the finish line and 1’07 ”behind the group of pursuers including the Italian champion Marta Bastianelli.
14.44 The world champion Annemiek Van Vleuten and Demi Vollering alternate at the head of the group.
14.42 Great forcing by the orange Anna Van der Breggen.
14.39 These are the four blue present in the leading group: Soraya Paladin, Marta Cavalli, Elena Cecchini and Elisa Longo Borghini.

14.30 A lot of movement at the head of the group of treads, joined by a dozen athletes. Four blue present.
14.28 Concluded the fourth lap of the circuit: average speed of 37.2 km / h.
14.26 In fact, now the Dutch have begun to pull at the head of the group to mend the gap from the tread: further selection has been created, with a dozen athletes launched in pursuit of the top 10.
14.23 It is unlikely that the Netherlands will be happy with this situation, since the two orange representatives in the group of fugitives are certainly not the best of the Dutch selection.
14.19 The leading group has accumulated an advantage of 45 ”over the pursuers.
14.15 Here is the complete picture of the ten leaders: Soraya Paladin and Elena Cecchini (Italy), Demi Vollering and Chantal Blaak (Holland), Audrey Cordon Ragot (France), Hannah Barnes (Great Britain), Christine Majerus (Luxembourg), Marta Lach ( Poland), Lisa Brennauer (Germany) and Elise Chabbey (Switzerland).

14.09 An important split has been created within the platoon: ten athletes have taken the leadership of the race.
14.06 The third lap of the circuit closed: an average speed of 39.7 km / h was maintained.
14.03 After the first hour of running, less than 70 km to the finish.
13.59 At the head of the group are the Dutch, who are now pushing on the accelerator.
13.56 Now you are starting to do some selection within the group.
13.52 We are in the third lap of the circuit, 77 kilometers to the finish. The group is still compact.
13.48 In addition to the rain, there is also a noticeable wind in Plouay. Clearly this is a factor that could greatly affect the outcome of the race.
13.43 The Dutch one is a battleship: just think that in the last four years it has won three golds (Van der Breggen in 2016, Vos in 2017 and Pieters in 2019).
13.38 Last year the Dutch Amy Pieters won in the sprint, who overtook the competition of Elena Cecchini (silver) and the German Lisa Klein (bronze).
13.33 The three focal points of the route are the Côte du Lézot (1.4 kilometers at 3.9% but with peaks of 19%), Montée de Lann Payot (1.3 kilometers at 2.6% but with peaks of 9% ) and the Côte du Pont-Neuf (1500 meters at 4.2% with a maximum of 9%).

13.00 Watch out also for the British Lizzie Deignan, who on Tuesday won the WorldTour classic here.
12.57 Italy, however, has all the cards in the rules to groped the coup. Dino Salvoldi’s national team can count on an excellent team and will rely on Marta Bastianelli in case of a sprint finish, or on Elisa Longo Borghini in case of distance selection.
12.54 The underdogs are certainly on the side of the Netherlands, which can field a very high level formation: the outgoing European champion Amy Pieters, the world champion jersey Annemiek Van Vleuten, protagonist of a screaming 2020, the former world champions stand out. continental Anna Van der Breggen and Marianne Vos.
