Summer Games Paris 2024

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!

35 riders, 10 crashes. Where's Adam Hansen

 

[awavey]

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

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.

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.

 

[Samamba]

So who's the first to crash

 

[Lexman]

who's supposed to be the better ITT in the rain?

when did they ride last ITT in the rain?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So who's the first to crash

The commentators probably.

His job explicitly excludes criticising TdF, Worlds or Olympics it seems.

That or he only watches the Spring races every year then hibernates.

yves lampaert

 

[Andre]

I don't like riding in the rain, and I'm a Belgian. Although if I start out in dry conditions and it starts raining towards the middle of the race...then I don't mind so much, it's kind of pleasant. Go Remco Go!

 

[Penninepeddler]

Tirreno–Adriatico seems to rain every TT aha.

Though that TT is short, Ganna always does well.

Tarling is a good bike handler for a TT specialist.

I guess Wout should get a boost too.

Don't wanna hype him too much for this ... But Foss is also good in the wet.

Well he is Australian it's like winter for them now

Ryan Mullen. Always good at crashing tbh. Has a varied repertoire crash wise too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

All PCS refreshers will know the mugshot of Jambaljamts Sainbayar, darting out of the gate in 2 minutes time.

 

[meat puppet]

By god the Visma alien helmet is cool/fugly

 

[Potomac]

Did most of the crashes happen between timing points one and two in the women's race.
It seemed that way to me

 

[AmRacer]

By god the Visma alien helmet is cool/fugly

They have an alien who needs a fitting helmet.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

White lines are notoriously an issue in road slipperiness in wet weather. Whose idea was it to paint gratuitous white lines at the bottom of the start ramp? (No issues there so far as far as I have seen, but...)

 

[Brullnux]

Bettiol actually looks in quite good shape, I wonder what was up at the Tour

 

[Tim Cahill]

Iplayer is terrible to navigate, they're showing interviews, come on BBC ffs show Sainbayar
