    Van Vleuten: "The last information we received was before my fall, and was that there was a lead group and we had to start the real fight earlier than planned." Which they did.
  2. heywoodu
    Sure, but it's also up to the riders. They can get back to the team car for some info, but of course in the final of the race you're not gonna do that. They could have done so early enough though. Plus, count right.

    Van der Breggen said they (everyone in the group, basically) thought they had taken back everyone from the lead group once Plichta and Shapira were caught, they miscounted. They also saw 1:35 on some screen or sign or something, and they thought it was the distance to the lead, which would have been no problem, but it was the gap between Kiesenhofer and the early chase.

    Saudi was so close to bronze
  5. heywoodu
    Seems the entire group was left without any clue whatsoever. And nobody there paid attention neither.

    "I was wrong*. We didn't get any information at all, so yeah." *about being in 1st place
  7. heywoodu
    Oh damn, that one leg save by Li
  8. heywoodu
    The athletes mostly, it's their responsibility. It would be bad if the organizers actually gave wrong information, but not as bad as the screw-up of the athletes.

    Although celebrating at the line for her (not the other Dutch women) would still be fitting even if she knew Kiesenhofer was ahead.
  10. heywoodu
    Apparently the peloton either didn't know the gap to the lead group (they were shown 1:35 or something when it was already 5+ minutes), or didn't think there was still a lead group in the first place. Non-earpiece races
  11. heywoodu
    Oh, I take my earlier words back: Van Vleuten was heard saying "I thought I was first", according to word on the street Still, she was definitely still happy when knowing it was silver and rightfully so.
  12. heywoodu
    Make that 751
  13. heywoodu
    No, she did not.
  14. heywoodu
    Since it's not cycling I'll obviously put it in a spoiler, so open at your own risk (swimming):
  15. heywoodu
    No, but after her horrible fall in Rio, any medal actually makes her happy.
  16. heywoodu
    Carapaz isn't really surprising at all (one of the many serious candidates for gold), but yeah, Kiesenhofer.....
  17. heywoodu
    Might not be a terrible idea to have a doctor at the ready for Kiesenhofer
  18. heywoodu
    Fun fact: Kiesenhofer has said she's afraid to ride in a peloton, so she likes to attack
  19. heywoodu
    Of all the big names, Van Vleuten really is the only one who genuinely deserves a medal, hopefully she gets one.
  20. heywoodu
    It's more like taking turns riding against each other
  21. heywoodu
    The peloton taking back minutes in the last part shows how much they let go
  22. heywoodu
    She's riding for Van der Breggen and Vollering.
  23. heywoodu
    "Well, it is still possible, isn't it?" It's always Sesame Street in the head of the Dutch commentator.
  24. heywoodu
    Except for Vollering/vdBreggen, the Dutch are no team. At all. There is absolutely no way Vollering and Van Vleuten would work together for the sprint for vdBreggen and/or Vos, for example.
  25. heywoodu
    These are also going to be the 20 most physically excruciating kilometers in the life of Kiesenhofer
