the way she landed was horrible.

My first reaction was the same as @User13710's. I don't ever want to see a replay of that.

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.

If that's true it's a great relief. I thought we could be looking at a broken neck the way she was lying in the gutter.

Just found it on Youtube. I have mixed feelings about that

Mine as well, but you don't really want to think it let alone say it. Van der Breggen looks more worried than happy.

Despite finishing 5th, thought that was a good ride from Armitstead. The steepness of the final climb didn't suit her, and she very nearly bridged back

How can you have MIXED feelings about that?

It was horrific and she's very lucky to be conscious.

I find it hard to believe some nobber's had the poor taste to put it up on YouTube that quickly.

My second thought was, how could the motorcycle rider who saw it happen not have stopped to try and help, as there was no one else in sight. Might be unreasonable of me, but I couldn't just have driven on by whatever my brief might have been.

They did stop.

That it was up on Youtbe so quickly I mean.

 

[Booyaa]

Did they? The filming just seemed to continue.

Yes, stopped and jumped off, the coverage continued with the bike behind the american coming through.

OK - you're forgiven!

And it is easy to judge, but none of us knew what had really happened, it was only, what, how many minutes ago??

Anyway, I hope she's ok
