Currie 10 spots down

He said a couple of years ago that he did not care about the swim anymore. I did not see him in the water this year but he was backstroking half the time last year.

I hope he can do it

I looks like Sanders might be riding smarter than normal or maybe pushed too hard and is struggling to keep up now.

Yeah, it's pretty odd. He was pedaling hard when he saw somebody he knew on the side of the road, then immediately pulled over. Something was said and then he was breaking down. I hope that everything with his family is OK.

Yeah, he's flying. Can he run? I don't much about him.

Also, wouldn't it be nice if they could have 4 split screen shots? Then we could see the lead and chase groups, and popular athletes, more often. (I know... I'm dreaming ;)

Just in case anyone missed the live action. It's really too bad that we won't see Jan take it head to head with Lange on the QueenK

Looked like he just mentally broke when he saw a friendly face to me... his coach was clearly clapping and cheering him until he did an emergency stop. Think the pressure of the race got him tbh as he could see it slipping away.

McNamee out. Shit. Needed him as a gap filler in the top 5.

We did see them go head to head and Lange lost and dropped out. I know a little harsh not knowing why he dropped out but one is at the front and one is no longer racing.

If I’m Daniela I’d be more worried about Haug right now than Lucy.

Matt

i did interprer it as cheering as well. no waving him off the course or something.

josh falling out...did i miss it, or has tim not taken a turn up front?

Yeah, now that I watch it again, I agree with your assessment.

Josh is way in over his head in this group, I figured he could hang until the turnaround, then the big guns will kill that downhill..
