Yes, they let Borghini do all the work at the last, so she didn't have the legs. A great race, but I lost a lot of enthusiasm for it after the crash.

I only caught the crash out the corner of my eye as I was doing something at the time, so I personally would like to see it again, even just the once.

Scary that nothing has been said or shown since the crash. Genuinely hope she is still with us.
Nice to see a yank lose at the last moment
Thought she was losing it on the approach to the bend - misuse of front brake in a panic? Looked horrific and hopefully the recording gets locked as not to be shown again.

WHY does the leading cyclist nearly always look behind to see where the following group is, instead of going hell for leather for the line. Shame for Abbott - a great race. I just hope the news about Van Vleuten isn't bad.

Never nice to see a crash but that was one of the worst I have seen. You will be able to see it somewhere but it doesn't make for pleasant viewing.

Trust me, you don't. It was a trivial slide that turned into an endo, but the way she landed was horrible.

News on Twitter is that she's "ok"
Remains to be seen what that really means but at least it's not what I feared when it happened.

No you wouldn't. I'd watch the French gymnast breaking his leg 100 times before seeing that crash again. I hope to god TMN is wrong.

I really hope van Vleuten was simply unconscious and not suffered a broken neck. I didn't like the position she was lying in.
Race Radio on Twitter says she's regained consciousness
