Yep, what you are saying is on Point and totally makes sense.
I sure hope that she can recover more like WvA and less like Phinney. Quote:

I'm going with speed wobble for now.
Is it normal for TT'ers to take high speed corners on the aero bars instead of the handlebars? Looked like she was on the Aeros the whole time. Could that have caused speed wobble? Totally agree on padding placement. Didn't go nearly far enough through the corner. IMO padding should start just prior to the corner (looks like it did) and end past the exit; how far past depends on the curve. Better safe than sorry. Another case of rider safety compromised. |

Is there time to process that decision? It’s easy for us to consider since we know a crash is ensuing and we can imagine the padding as a possible line. But the rider going 30+ ? I bet there’s two thoughts. First uh oh I’m losing the front end to try and stay upright while turning right and the second thought is I’m about to go over the rail. It’s a couple of seconds at that speed. I know pros see things at that speed differently than we do but the time window is tiny. Look at MAL stage one locked up sliding right at that sign We’ve seen riders flip over rails but never iirc as resulting in as horrific an injury as to her left knee thigh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Watched the TT last night......not knowing what was going to happen. Terrible crash. Not sure what happened (sure looks like a speed wobble) but the front wheel did look intact.

Great win by Ganna today, and Gerraint Thomas's performance makes me think he's the favorite for the Giro.
|
Horrible accident for Chloe. So sorry, the pictures are terrible and praying hard for her recovery.
Amber Neben held her own that's for sure! Congrats to her. Women's RR tomorrow. |

Somewhere Rohan Dennis is shedding a lone tear as well. Not sure how much to take from Ganna's win. Couple big hitters -- namely Evenpoel -- weren't there, it's a weird year, etc etc. He is beast mode in the pursuit though. |

Just horrific, and hope the best for her recovery - from all her interviews the mental aspect of not competing might be more tortuous than the physical pain. |

What a ride!
And props to AvV. |
Those rider-on-the-ridge-top scenic shots were fantastic.
|
The Dutch are amazing. Four former road world champions in their team, just for a start.
|
State sponsored financial doping by the Dutch ;-).

One of the nicest courses I can remember.
Side helicopter shots were awesome. What a finish today! Bravo to ________! |
Alaphilippe
Yes!

Alaphillipe
I love it when this guy hits it. What a fantastic finish, which it had to be to be in the same class as the women’s race. Chapeau, Alaphillipe et l’équipe Francais.
And yes, the scenery and course really lent itself to great photography. A final thought, though, is hoping for the best for Chloe Dygert. Looks as though she’ll heal, which is good news. |

JA rode as expected. Exciting to watch and heart warming after the death of his father earlier this year.
WvA has had an incredible year. Considering his wreck in the TT last year only underlines the achievement. Hirschi has an enormous future in front of him. |

Great few weeks of racing. Can't wait for Giro and Vuelta. Bummed that Mads couldn't really wear the rainbow jersey much this year.
