What a great cross rider she was, will always remember her flying up the Koppenberg.
She certainly never gave up, still racing only months before losing the battle with cancer.

Was there seriously a rider called "Pretzel Logic"?

Is there a men's team called Never Going to Give You Up by Rick Astley 1987 ?

[Devil's Elbow]

I hope this result is not going to cause another cold war:

Nixon and Stalin 1 and 2 on GC now, about a minute up on the other three riders who were in yesterday’s breakaway that got handed 10+ minutes that also finished with the GC groups today. The route is a lot easier than last year’s, so it’s entirely possible that the two will duel for the overall. A nation trembles in its boots at the prospect.
