Re: Re:

The question now is how will the Dutch screw up from this position and end up with just a Bronze

Vos is not a Dutch, she should be fine.

Can someone post the situation, my feed is getting screwed.

VDB was helping to chase her teammate for a while there but seems to have stopped.

Thanks a lot!

 

[Scarponi]

Australia just won gold in shooting, all four channels were on it? Update please?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Lead two now have 45 seconds. That should be enough for Van Vleuten. The first chase group looks like it's being caught by Armitstead/Niewiadoma group.

 

[rainman]

Armistead in second group of chasers 70 seconds back

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Flavia Oliveira still in the Armitstead group.

 

[doperhopper]

wow, almost a minute!

EDIT: and what a descending from AVV

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Abbott now shifting from "climbing masterclass" mode to "how not to descend" mode.

 

[rainman]

Raining on descent jeez

 

[burning]

I think Van Vleuten could drop Abbott on the descent, she might want to ride with her on the flat as well

And she is riding away, lol

Re:

No point in waiting for her. She has a big enough gap over the rest to hold on solo.

 

[Gloin22]

Abbot is worse than Wiggo at descending wow

 

[doperhopper]

CRASH AVV!!!

 

[woodburn]

Abbott looks complete spooked on descent. Hope she doesn't get caught for medals.

 

[Hayabusa]

Oh god. Hope she is okay.

 

[rainman]

Oh FK

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Inquitus]

That looked horrific

 

[Sciocco]

That was awful. Holy ***.

 

[Red Rick]

Just awful. Horrendous
