2020...2021 Olympic Women's Road Race, Tokyo, 137 KM

[Andy262]

Annemiek went down hard there. Edit not too bad, worse for Norsgaard.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Are you sure about that?

Anna Kiesenhofer (procyclingstats.com)

Yes, it is Kiesenhofer and not Keisenhofer.

 

[Finn84]

Near the same place where Geraint and TGH crashed yesterday?

She had plenty of road to avoid Norsgaard - just rode straight into her

Looks like it. There is a channel in the center line, maybe a metal trolley line or something that was an issue in the men's race as well. Unless the riders were aware of it beforehand, it would not be easy to see in the middle of a group. They should have put something over it. It looks like a very short section of road, but it did damage in both races unnecessarily.

If she wants to be the most winningest rider on Movistar, she's taking it a little too far!

Too close, you mean?

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Finally, the peloton looks like it is chasing, even if only chasing Vollering rather than the break.

 

[SafeBet]

Just tuned in.
Perhaps my prediction was a bit too bold?

 

[42x16ss]

You mean Anna Meares?

The 7+ stream has Gilmore and some NZ guy who sounds like Murray fro Flight Of The Conchords. Meares is only on the main stream for some reason

 

[RedheadDane]

"We haven't had any of the fa... Anna Van Der Breggen goes on the attack!"

 

[sir fly]

Aussies struggling... can't be the heat, can it?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Game over?

 

[Andy262]

Biggest cert of the day: Vleuty's turn.

Vollering in 3 years time.

 

[RedheadDane]

Less than 60 Ks. Easy-peasy.

 

[sir fly]

Game over?

I'd say so.
Can't see anyone behind committing with the rest of the three orange.

 

[Fuente De]

let's pull a yorkshire, annemiek!

 

[sir fly]

Race for two medals is more interesting than for three, right?

 

[Andy262]

Not sure I believe it's still 5.5 minutes to the break? Surely?

 

[tobydawq]

I don't think she can catch the break on her own. Pretty useless strategy if that proves to be the case.

 

[Red Rick]

Either GPS is drunk or that break isn't coming back?

 

[yaco]

I doubt AVV can make up 5m and 40s on the breakaway riders with 47kms to go, unless they totally collapse.

 

[Monte Serra]

Will be difficult for Annemiek to bridge the 5 minute gap on her own? Considering that there's not that much climbing to come.

 

[Red Rick]

Descent is coming too.

 

[Andy262]

Well, peloton has stalled. Some medals for the break here.
