For the recently released Thomas Dekker documentary please head to ''the clinic'' section. Would appreciate some advice on how to share the whole documentary - which I have on my computer - seeing as the NOS websites are probably geo-restricted. Very intriguing docu.

Dreadful, dreadful news. And she was only twenty.

Porr, poor guy. Sympathy to him and his girlfriend's family.

Even worse: he was in the car behind her and saw the accident happen. He pulled her out of the wreck and she died in his arms.

He says he saw it happening through the rear view mirror, so I assume he was in front of her rather than behind.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Ah, sorry. The first report I saw yesterday said behind, but it must have meant her car was behind.

Not sure if it was posted, but Robert Gesink is going to be a father in December .

Marianne Vos with a win again, great bike rider.

Mortirolo tomorrow, too!

Her 2nd stage win was an awesome race, a parcours like a seriously tough Tirreno-Adriatico stage.

Yes i recall Mark Whitehead just tearing it up in the early 80's when I started. That Autofast Freight jersey would clear the pack very quickly. He was something special for sure.

amazing result for vos.
This was a tough stage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Several attacks from Pooley steadily thinned the group, but the one rider that the World time trial champion was consistently unable to drop was Vos.

pretty impressive.
If she can pull this off - still skeptical - I rate this as her most impressive victory to date.
