Vos weeps. What a racer.

A tactical fest!

“After the last turn, I switched off my brain and told myself to go full gas… it was a dream for me… if it wasn’t for my team this would not be possible…”

I am so impressed by Kasia, she was involved in so many of the moves in the last 30km... Attacking, closing down, and bridging. And then taking bronze in the end too!

Another solo operator. Worthy medalist. I want to hill attack like her.

The men's race should be a humdinger, if they have a similar sized group coming to the finish.

And once again, with all the cards to play: 7 of their 8 riders in the final selection, the Dutch manage to lose it at the end.

Looks like the break has been established, now to carry on with some other work.
Pee break for some, me included.

 

[Knersboy]

Alrighty then.

Took the boy for a morning ride, did the weekly shopping, took out the trash, did two loads of washing.

Now the wife took the kids to the movies, and I got my bum bum planted on the couch watching the race.

It is gonna be a tough day but I reckon I can do it.

[Frosty]

Ha-ha, the Tractor reports to work. ????

 

For 91 riders, this will be their longest distance, assuming they finish the distance.

You think the UCI will fine them for blocking the road?
