BOOM #LizzieGetDizzie

FANTASTIC, thought she was out of it!

Why is Lizzie wearing Sky shorts?

Anyhow, brilliant race from her. Guarnier looks happy to get on the podium. Van der Breggen rather less so for her silver. L took Borghini out on the final climb and being unable to get away from the others, waited till VDB attacked and used her as lead out.

I want shorts like Lizzies. The shorter the shorts the better....

 

[Louch]

Because sky are British cyclings main sponsor

I didn't realise she'd change sponsor just for the race. I expected BoelsWhatchmacallem bits.

Didn't you notice everyone in the race was in national and not trade kit?!?

To be honest, no. But that, I feel, does not quite make me a bad person. And I liked Boardman's suggestion about having numbers on their helmets. But that's another subject. I guess I got confused by the time trial bike kerfuffle with Villumsen's Strealth Trek.

 

[Berk on a Bike]

Yay! Yorkshire won the world championships...!

First and foremost, congratulations to Lizzie, not forgetting that Anna who came second also came second in the time trial, quite outstanding, by the way all those on the podium are team mates in their trade team. Now to add a sour note, we have just watched the BBC News at 10.15, in the sports news not a mention of Lizzie's gold medal, utterly disgraceful, dr_pink is tweeting the BBC as I write this, instead we get the usual football news in depth. I simply cannot believe it.
I will place a bet with anyone that if an English rider wins the men's road race tomorrow it will be on the news. So angry.

Watched it on my phone at the same time we were watching Midnight's Children on TV
Cycling was more gripping and Lizzie's tears were moving

I'm sure the beeb would but a Brit won't win, so it won't. Still, the UK's got one of the 4 four women's world tour events and the RideLondon one. UK women's cycling is healthier than the BBC.

She was in trade kit, didn't you see her bike or helmet
