Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer has died after suffering a serious head injury at the Road World Championships...

Goddammit

 

According to Swiss Blick, the trauma helicopter landed only an hour after the end of the race...and a motorbike rider in the race said he wasn't even aware it had happened, leading to the second pass there having no safety precautions whatsoever. She was simply laying there out of view

Terrible.

 

RIP

Great attempt by Jan Christen, but Behrens and Svrcek have caught up with him and are looking mightily strong. Behrens is 1,95m by the way and is overpowering this course, damn.

Another medal for Slovakia

Ooff, Svrcek showing the world what NOT to do when going for a sprint. He seemed like with 200m to go he was still not expecting the sprint to begin...

 

Epic race though for Behrens, far and away the strongest in this race today, what a monster of a rider.

The UCI urgently needs to make road cycling safer, the number of deaths we've been seeing over the past few years is simply not acceptable.
