Tour Femmes '22, Stage 8: Swapping Bikes

Annemiek Van Vleutin (Movistar) was having the best of starts to her final stage of the Tour de France Femmes.  Yes, she did start the day in the Maillot Jaune with a three plus minute buffer, but things weren't going to her way mechanically.  She had started the stage in an all yellow bike, but when she had to trade bikes with her teammate Arlenis Sierra, she was getting off of a black bike with just yellow bar tape.  As she rode off on the blue bike that wasn't an exact fit Sierra waited for their team car to get her spare.  Later Van Vleutin was seen back on the yellow one.  And still later, she finished the stage back on the black bike with a different rear wheel.  I make that five bike changes in a single stage.  That makes for a lot of chasing back on, what will she have left on the final climb?
