Grassmarket 2,756 Posted September 25, 2020 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Took a lot of time to confirm this, but it seems that Chloe Dygert is OK after surgery. Must have bad at the time, reading between the lines. https://usacycling.org/article/usa-cyclings-official-statement-regarding-dygerts-condition-after-crash-at-world-championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least pretty soon after the crash we knew she was 'ok' in the sense that she was conscious and talking to medical personell. So yeah, that's Olympic road race gold for Van der Breggen due to Van Vleuten's horror crash and world time trial title due to Dygert's horror crash (or at least in both cases with big help from the crashes, both Van Vleuten and Dygert were of course not entirely certain yet). Makes one wonder....Olympic time trial gold is the only thing missing in Van der Breggen's career now, should Van Vleuten and/or Dygert even start there? Seems rather risky If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Road quality looked good, so possible hardware issue. Good chance it was a hardware issue indeed, most likely something with the front tyre. One can have amazing or terrible bike-handling skills, when the front tyre goes at that speed going into a curve like that, you're just a passenger on your own bike, sadly If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I mean, everyone more or less expected she'd test positive again some day, but that's not at all what I expected a year ago Gianlu33 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 2,756 Posted September 25, 2020 #20 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Think about half the country was fine - the war was mostly in the North up by the Iraqi border. Wind & rain going to be a factor today, could get a surprise winner if someone mid-race gets a bit of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
