    Not a fetish.

    I don't tent at a good sock.

    Just looks smarter.

    Van Dijk doesn't have any water bottles or an obvious camelbak. Rather her than me. Hope she preloaded.

    In fact, a lot of them don't.

    Van Dijk sets a 36:43, six seconds slower. Apparently cracked in the last 500m. Ouch

    Brandon McNulty seems to have had a non-aero bidon on his bike.

    Jasper Philipsen overheated after 4km?

    rick_chasey Posts: 75,660
    S'what the report says yeah. Which was why I mentioned it.

    Fall after 4km wasn't a bad one judging by his injuries - he was taken to hospital as a result of overheating.

    Ah, some of them seem to have super hidden camelbaks.

    I'm not really up on my women's cycling, so I was surprised to hear that Neben is 41. Bit of a Horner that.

    Ashleigh Moolman Pasio collapses just after the media mixed zone. Is receiving medical attention. Lots of ice and water. #UCIDoha2016

    Bit of a women's TT theme TBH. Olympics women's TT won by Kirsten Armstrong (41, 1 kid) , Silver for Olga Zabelinskaya (36, 2 kids)

    Also, two out of those three names have been done for doping...

    Maybe whoever wins the elite races will be embarrassed enough to not want to wear the WRC rainbow bands next year.
