You’re right we couldn’t see or know even the majority of what was happening. But we did have well more than a few seconds of TV coverage. Over the course of 3-4 minutes they cut back to Anna perhaps a half-dozen times, during which her her only interactions were with her team representative, Cille, and one other I can’t remember. Yeah, they don’t really know her—all the more reason I wanted to see more riders, coaches help her celebrate and provide audience/ witness to her achievement.
To your point of we can’t really know—of course we don’t really know!!! But 99% of the posts on this forum are about what we don’t really know, unless it’s LS or someone from the forum is actually there (at a race). So we make assumptions about what we CAN see, and we compare that to what we’ve seen previously in similar situations. Based on what I could see (supplemented by the defensive comments of a couple of Dutch riders) I think they could and should have acted better.
