The clock is ticking.
Grace Brown, Olympic and World Champion in the time trial and now journalist with SBS, looks to me. "What's the time cut today?"
I scramble for my road book. Stage 9, just like Stage 8, is a 20% day. We glance to the large Tissot clock that looms over the finish line. It reads 3:38.23, the winning time of Pauline Ferrand-Prévot of Visma-Lease a Bike. Beside that time is an ever-ticking clock, increasing. Brown does the math (better her than I) and says, "43 min." I glance up. +42min blares, and a group is approaching.
The clock waits for no one as they fight to complete the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
Tick, tick, tick.
Did we do a good job with this story?
