That is absolutely fucking horrible.

Here's the Time Trial. Crash is around 15ish minutes.

Sad to hear, hope Dygert can recover, she could win an olympic gold. She has so much potential.

OMG I hope she recovers. 

Briefly looked at twitter which suggested a puncture before the crash and MY EYES. Do not recommend.

USA cycling says she is going to make a full recovery but that could mean a number of things.

on the bright side, it looks like shes awake and conscious to joke about it. 

Some serious times laid down today. Some great rides made to look very ordinary by one or two incredible rides...

Those bars are wacky! 

Watched the women race today, very much fun. When they were at the top of the climb, the helicopter shot was out of this world amazing. Worth putting on the race just for that. This is AVdB after the winning attack.



Last year, at the women's CX Worlds, there was a similar stunning cable shot that followed the 3 women as they rode from the last flyover to the line. Don't know who is producing the coverage, but OMG kudos.

That shot is straight out of a Bond movie!

I JUST copied the link to that tweet to post here haha. That shot is beautiful. 

The Dutch were so on it!

"Cecilie is really upset about what happened," Braikia added. "We all are, but she's particularly upset, and so is taking some time on her own."

I'm here for the helicopter shots!

WVA seems to be the clear favorite this year. How much rest will he have coming out of the Tour of Britain?

Are you talking about the road race, the time trial, or CX? Or maybe he's planning on BMX racing too? 😉

WVA needs no rest. He needs a bike.

Sagan is going to be on the podium.

Magnus Cort, Evenepoel, Colbrelli... er, Sagan? What a lineup of contenders. The only downer is it the weather is mellow.  

Belgian friends of mine are from a town that is on the course. They live in Holland now, but a friend of theirs sent this photo from today. Anyone recognize the guy on the right eating a proper a Belgian diet? 

Not everyone has a theme song.

But he does
