Wow. Just watched that crash again on YouTube. Really ugly. I don't watch cycling to see that stuff.

I don't cycle to have these things happen to me, but alas I'm not part of the group who still have to fall [emoji19]

Wow

What a thriller of a race by the women

 

That final hour was riveting

 

Fantastic 10th for Ashleigh ????????????????????????

Me neither. I got back from my ride today and my GF asks if I fell. I say no so she says how come I have holes in my clothes. I say oh I thought you meant today.

Crashes are par for the course for us but you seem to be making a sport of it! :whistling:

 

Glad Van Vleuten is ok. Let's hope there's nothing broken!

Glad that Anna V/d Breggen got gold. She deserves it after her narrow loss at last years world's. Also because she rode her butt off to show respect to Annemiek. Johansson and Longo Borghini also deserving of their medals. Great race despite Annemiek's horror crash.

As usual the woman's race was scintillating, I have to feel for Mara Abbot, 100 odd metres....!

 

Great competitors, Emma Pooley, such a little powerhouse, Borghini, always on the podium,Katarzyna Niewiadoma never faltered, Kristen Armstrong did everything to keep USA in the mix and of course Anna van der Breggen, just a superb athlete.

 

I think Lizzy also felt the pressure of the recent issues, watching her is like watching a fine Swiss clock in motion, I think she is so much better than her 5th spot, but mentally she must have felt the strain. Never the less, a fine race and a worthy winner.

Wel nou kry Annemiek 'n lang vakansie!

 

Eish! Bly sy is redelik ok!

 

Her injuries somehow sounds less serious in Dutch than it does in English.

 

Healing vibes and prayers to/for her!

I really feel for Lizzie Armitstead.

 

Her preparation was going so well when WADA came and pee'ed in her soup.

 

Don't they know that only Russians dope?
