    @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 ?

    Wasn't there a wheel nudge?

    Farrrkkk. That was gut wrenching to watch. Front wheel poked in behind the rider in fronts back wheel and that's that.

    Gotta feel for the rider.

    Just imagine being a team competing at the Olympics. One team member makes a mistake, they lose, and the team's funding is cut, so it's harder for the whole team and any future team members to qualify for and compete at the next Olympics.

    That just makes no f*cking sense!

    What a race by Italy. Denmark leading with 2 to go and Italy claw it back and win with World Record.
