She had to retire with heat exhaustion after giving it her all...apparently only 5 of the women's teams are still running after day one.

She's gutted!

Very sensible in light of the conditions, a hard judgment to have to make and it's not so long ago that a British rider died in the same conditions.

In an ideal world, they'd have got out there a week or two before and done a bit of hot-weather training

Let's hope Nieve Holmes and Libby Tett have better luck. Gutted for Em, she will NOT be happy!! 4 of the 8 women's teams lost a rider with heat stroke yesterday. It's 42deg out there.

Early days but the men are lying 2nd after day 1.

No guarantee though - even the Brazilian, Bolivian and Colombian mens teams had riders pull out yesterday because of the extreme heat.
