Puerile moment warning.
What about Amber Kraak?

Having just ordered new bib shorts due to the old ones being a little too revealing, that name stuck out in the commentary.

Nienke Vinker is my favourite women’s peloton name although I don’t think she’s there this week!

Jeepers...

"Gladys Verhulst-Wild [...] was immediately taken to the hospital, where examinations and a CT scan revealed that Gladys is suffering: 8 rib fractures, a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and a fractured humeral head"

Get well soon, I guess?

 

[Cathryn]

I saw that too! Utterly horrific!

 

[Cathryn]

Sheer bloody guts and determination.

Yep, Cat Fergusson and Anna Henderson still handily placed for GB

I caught Roldan’s finish late last night and loved it! Her delight at the win was really sweet! I really enjoyed her podium ceremony where she had no idea what to do with the champagne!

The racing is much better than I’d expected from the parcours but Gladys V’s injuries have soured it somewhat. Poor poor girl!

Yikes I didn't that crash, or at least I don't think I did, poor girl.
