From http://www.radsport-news.com/sport/sportnews_101005.htm via Google Translate
"...If not, then you can actually almost kink. "

I just had to click through to see the original then! It was "Wenn nicht, dann kann man es eigentlich schon fast knicken." Close, but I think I would have translated it as "then you can properly almost fold/collapse/give up" (not sure which of the three is closest, but damn it Jim, I'm a statistician not a translator!). Got to love autotranslatese, though.

Disappointing ride for Hayley Simmonds today. Ironic, given how roundly Emma Pooley was criticised for her performance at the Olympics - many suggesting that HS should have been selected instead.

Indeed, it looked like van Duyck lost consciousness for a moment near the finishing line - she got all out of shape and suddenly veered to the right but rescued it just in time.

if the mens u23 is a sprint finish Halvorsen could win, with Latham going close

Don't forget the women's road race is on BBC red button from 10.35am Saturday

Watching the womens road race and some of the minor country riders are a danger to others - some of them can't even ride a bike properly and shouldn't be in the race.

Not being able to take a bidon without letting it bounce along the road behind could easily take out a rider.
Parkinson could have had a coffee waiting on that whee change too.

Impressive finish from the youngster Dideriksen.
