Yup that isn't bad luck, but bad riding

If they want to get me interested this climbing wall needs to be like 10 times higher
I don’t know. That polish chick was impressive!
Maybe she's a Ferner?

@machpants I don't understand this reaction. One rider was just very unlucky in this race, while they were ahead. Why would you want their funding cut ?
Unlucky?
To quote Stuart O'Grady on Ch7 this morning: one golden rule of cycling ... watch where you're going.

She is not human.

Off tangent comment maybe. Maybe for the #GOM thread. Maybe just being nostalgic. Maybe uber patriotic.
But just watching 2nd chicks 1500m semi.
Glancing across the screen showing the starters ... just checking if a Kiwi is involved ... scan quickly ... nup, no black singlet.
Then it occurs to me that EVERY other country has to look twice for their colours, as some other country has a strip similar to someone else's.
Love the black singlet.
(Hence #GOM ... where black people, not white ... )
