Is it my TV or is Grace Brown really Grace Grey?

Yeah, looks a bit greyish. But it's I think the light under the tent, she did look more healthy there for a moment in the sun.

 

[Potomac]

Brown is the palest Aussie I've seen in a long time.

Ghoulish

 

[Penninepeddler]

Brown is the palest Aussie I've seen in a long time.

Pretty much the reason she is retiring I believe.

Misses the sun. So going back to Aus.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Dygert's body is more effed by now than Pozzovivo's, but hopefully she'll still be fully ready for the track races.

What sun?

 

[Netserk]

CUL seems quite hurt btw.

 

[yaco]

Dygert collapsed after that crash! Reckong there were more than 10 crashes.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Dygert collapsed after that crash! Reckong there were more than 10 crashes.

Tbf the US contingent accounted for about half of them aha.

And that probably increases in the mens race! Aha.

What sun?

It's glowing plasmabowl so bright it even illuminates earth under the clouds. Pretty impressive if you ask me, almost as impressive as Brown today, not a huge difference in energy production either!

 

[dazaau]

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!

(I know, it's unbecoming of me but what can I say, we are trained this way )

 

[Penninepeddler]

Classic Danes using the F word on live tv.

Having lived there those guys use it more even than the Brits and Aussies in casual conversation.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Henderson didn't ride in the Visma darth-vader helmet: interesting

 

[Izzyeviel]

Okay, I hope it's just because Dygert was knackered she had to be off her bike. Not because she got hurt in that crash...

Well shes pretty much like that when she wins. The left leg is the one that she nearly lost.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Will those with an eye on track/RR be going less hard on the TT, seeing the falls?

 

[dazaau]

Will those with an eye on track/RR be going less hard on the TT, seeing the falls.

Yeah you could really ruin everything today

 

[Penninepeddler]

Will those with an eye on track/RR be going less hard on the TT, seeing the falls.

Depends on the person I think.

Ofc Ganna, Tarling, Kung, Sheffield, Bisseger etc will go all out whatever. Just more prestigious than track... and I think the dual guys are more focused on the road.

van Aert and Evanepoel... hmmm... probably have similar medal odds in each. But ofc RR is a bit more random. And Remco for sure wont play it safe as he does not know how to...

 

[Netserk]

Vollering on the verge of crying and she doesn't even seem to know why

Did she swallow the gum she was chewing?

 

[Izzyeviel]

Vollering on the verge of crying and she doesn't even seem to know why

She cries when she wins, she cries when she doesn't win. Make yer mind up Demi!

 

[AmRacer]

35 riders, 10 crashes. Where's Adam Hansen

 

[awavey]

Yep she can barely walk after most stages, I'd imagine TT is worse because of the constant red lining efforts. In a road race she can ease off a bit.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Amir Ansari riding for the refugee team, now residing in Sweden.

Probably wishes he'd have just taken his chances in Kandahar looking at this miserable weather

 

[awavey]

2 broken collarbones to silver medal feels like a super win for Anna Henderson, is Grace sticking round to the world's?


Also Lotte saying she broke the bike in the crash, she couldn't push as hard anymore, but would have lost more time swapping...not sure about that given it was early in the course

 

[Tim Cahill]

True journalists will have come from far and wide today to get the thoughts of Remco Evenepoel regarding the conditions out on the course at the finish.

 

[46&twoWheels]

35 riders, 10 crashes. Where's Adam Hansen

he's in semi-hibernation already plotting new ways to sxxx on 2025 Giro d'Italia

 

[Squire]

Know just the man;

According to the Norwegian commentator, Foss is apparently in great shape, similar to when he won WC gold.
