Race
During the race the rain hammered down. The stones of the course were very slippery causing many crashes. Only 62 of the 196 riders who started the race finished. In one of the first crashed was Ellen van Dijk involved, who broke her collarbone and had to abandon later her race. Among other casualties were the world champion, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who went down in the closing kilometres, and Shelley Olds who crashed and remounted, only to lose her derailleur and be forced to abandon.
