Maybe should have just left it this year ? It's not like they've had much chance to wear the stripes with so little racing.

Looks like van Vleuten will ride the womens road race, despite having a broken wrist. But not the TT.

TTs are boring anyway

Nasty crash for Chloe Dygert ,hope she's ok !

USA Cycling stated that she's conscious and talking but I haven't seen anything more recent. When they showed it, I was on the turbo and I immediately wanted to get off.

I actually wish I hadn't seen it.That bend was padded aswell...just not far enough for her ! They just showed it on the BBC news again.

Yes, it looked very nasty. Boardman thought the tyre had come off the rim of her rear wheel causing her to crash. She was powering through up to that point and looked like she was going to win.

On second view, he thought it might have been the front tyre causing the shimmying. I've never run tubeless so I don't know what happens but it did look like the rear was more stable than the front.

I did wonder if she was using those new hookless rims for tubeless which I don't particularly like the sound of as I had considered the tyre popping off the rim easily when I first heard about them.

@chloedygert30
I remember thinking what if I can get my bike can I still win? The first thing I remember was asking
@JimMiller_time
if I was done.. Then I looked down and saw my leg.

Thank you for all the well wishes

I’ll be back

Mens TT today and it's a short enough course.31.8 k and 167 metres of climbing which is not much.Could suit quite a few riders,Ganna and Dennis have to be favourites ? Strong winds forecast and poss rain will make it harder.

 

[matticus]

Captain Hindsight has already made this point all over the fe*kin internet!

An Ineos lock out of the podium for the TT would be rather fun, it's on at the moment Ganna is an absolute monster.
