Bit embarrassing that they had to stop the Women’s race because they were catching the Men’s Peloton as the men were cruisin’. Not fair on the Women. Maybe they should give the Men a speed up signal and anyone that gets caught is then bumped. Though of course that would create a bit of an issue as to how they would get home post bump. Maybe in the Women’s Broom Wagon.
