Race summary

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. Dutch favorite Ellen van Dijk was involved in one of the first crashes. She broke her collarbone and had to abandon. 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.Clemitson Suze 2015-07-26 Anna van der Breggen wins La Course as Lizzie Armitstead fades en-GB The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jul/26/anna-van-der-breggen-la-course-lizzie-armitstead 2023-04-07 0261-3077
