The three-day race did not start out the way that Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) had hoped after she crashed on wet roads before the final climb on stage 1 of Itzulia Women.
The World Champion, who is now 1:01 behind stage winner Demi Vollering (SD Worx) in the overall classification, said that while she felt pain in her hip and wrist at the time of the crash, she was otherwise OK.
