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.

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.
