Danish commentators joking that Grace Brown is a very safety conscious rider, she always wears her helmet, including in the hot seat

 

[Jagartrott]

OK, so Dygert destroying the rest at the intermediate. Who needs racing anyway to be on form?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Intermediate times (all riders past)

 

[JosephK]

Chloe Dygert is a machine (again).

Racing nah,
Pink socks and shoes Yes!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Dygert crash

 

[TourOfSardinia]

OMG Chloe!

 

[Volderke]

Dygert is hopefully OK, but done for the WC!

 

[Jagartrott]

There are hardly any twists and turns in this TT, so that's pretty strange. I hope she's OK.

 

[Volderke]

Dygert was still in aero position in that curve. She should have gotten out of that position into the drops.

She is a DNF (just confirmed)

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Looked like she simply went through too fast

 

[scapewalker]

Looked like something was off with her front wheel.
Deflated tyre or something.

 

[Netserk]

Very unfortunate, but completely her own fault. Quite amateurish, actually.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

They had the large mattress-type padding on that bend but not really in the right place and she missed all of it

 

[Volderke]

Very unfortunate, but completely her own fault. Quite amateurish, actually.

Well, if it wasn't a flat or any other mechanical, it did seem like it was simply bad steering, and there are hardly any curves in the parcours.

The wobbling is typical for loosing control in the aero position (so it doesn't look like a flat to me, but looking at the replay, I just don't know. It could as well have been a badly glued tubular or whatever tire system she is using). Besides Dygert's own lack of concentration / bike handling (keeping in the aero position), the car behind should have warned her for the curve.

 

[Jagartrott]

Bussi with a style that makes my eyes bleed. Dear God.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

What a horrible TT position, Bussi.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What a horrible TT position, Bussi.

She got a doctorate in Mathematics though.

 

[BlueRoads]

this is van der Breggen's year

 

[JosephK]

Anna van der Breggen . . . having a great year. In women's cycling age years, she's still a baby. Maybe she re-thinks retirement?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

van der Breggen finally get her Worlds ITT

 

[Volderke]

So it was Dygert's front tubular rolling off.
That totally explains the wobble.
Bad points for the mechanic! Loosing a world title and, potentially breaking parts of your body becasue of a bad mechanic!

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

OK, so Dygert destroying the rest at the intermediate. Who needs racing anyway to be on form?

Dygert not only destroying intermediate but herself aswell. Awful crash. I think she would've won.
Congrats to van der Breggen

 

[OldCranky]

Made up for Anna, storming ride. Hope Chloe Dygert is OK after that nasty looking bail over the barriers.

Short update on NBC -- Chloe Dygert is conscious and talking.
